Description
Book SynopsisThis volume focuses on two dimensions of globalization: the cultural and social realities of global connection and the uneasily shifting role of the state. Through a series of case studies, the editors assess the choices states have and the consequences of those choices for culture and society.
Trade ReviewThe arguments editors and contributors do present ... are often forceful and compelling and warrrant our close attention, especially when speaking to the need for forward-looking policy. -- Jonathan Burston, University of Western Ontario * Global Media and Communication, Fall 2005 *
