{"product_id":"television-regulation-and-civil-society-philip-kitley-9780415297332","title":"Television, Regulation and Civil Society in Asia","description":"This highly topical book exposes the tensions between state policies of broadcasting regulation and practices of civil society in the Asian region which is struggling with its incorporation into a new globalised, electronic information and entertainment world. Kitley critically compares Western principles of broadcasting, civil society and cultural regulation with alternative 'Asian' practices of regulation and organisation. Over the past forty years Asian states have used television as a normative cultural force in nation building, but more recently many states have deregulated their television sectors and introduced national commercial and international satellite services. As Asian states wrestle with a perceived loss of cultural control and identity through deregulation, this book considers their viewpoints and the question of whether the television public sphere offers space for the representation of popular sovereignty, and transversal concerns about human rights, press freedom, gender, environmental and world trade issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Kitley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415297338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415297332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.16w x 0.86d","brand":"Philip Kitley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136067776767,"sku":"9780415297332","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_152ea1f6-e6d2-481f-bee8-7b0beb163adc.jpg?v=1770160298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/television-regulation-and-civil-society-philip-kitley-9780415297332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
