Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume assembles a stellar group of scholars and experts to examine preferential trade agreements (PTAs), a topic that has time and again attracted the interest of analysts. It presents a discussion of the evolving economic analysis regarding PTAs and the various dysfunctions that continually place them among the priority items for (re)negotiation by the WTO. The book explores recent empirical research that casts doubt on the old 'trade diversion' school and debates why the WTO should deal with PTAs and if PTAs belong under the mandate of the WTO as we now know it. |

"Dr. Unwana Samuel Akpan has produced an invaluable edited volume whose scope is unparalleled in media studies of the Global South. The text's 18 chapters by both established and emerging scholars examine the various ways that digital media are reshaping African culture, daily experiences, and history. Their research is both refreshing and provocative, but above all, it is extremely contemporary in the issues it raises from critical and feminist perspectives. It deserves a place on every academic shelf." — Dr. Carolyn M. Byerly, Professor Emerita, Communication, Culture and Media Studies, Howard University, Washington DC, USA "African Media Space and Globalization is a timely volume and a must-read. An excellent illumination of Africa's rapidly evolving mediascape in the global digital environment; essays reflect rigorous scholarship, insightful analysis, and cutting-edge critique of factors driving media development, engagement, and consumption. The work's broadthematic scope, multi-perspectival approach, and solid theoretical grounding, commends it to media observers, analysts, practitioners, and regulators." — Prof. Bala A. Musa, Ph.D. Azusa Pacific University, USA This book surveys the African media industry, examining various sections of the media at the elite level. Drawing on contributors from diverse regions and media and communication disciplines, the book provides definitive analyses of the switch from analogue to digital broadcasting in select African countries.
