Beskrivning

The book draws on critical media policy studies, to study the principles and performances of policies and policymaking for community radio in four countries of South Asia---Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. It focuses on the processes and practices of deliberation that go into policymaking, across space and time, and the global-local spectrum. It stitches together a critical media policy ethnography, drawing on over a 100 formal interviews and informal conversations with policy actors from South Asia, in a bid to present a deliberative policy analysis of policymaking for community radio in the region. Drawing on Grounded Theory, the book fleshes out the Deliberative Policy Ecology Approach as an inclusive heuristic to study media policies.

Recensioner i media

“This book is an essential contribution to the field of media and communication studies in general and community media studies in particular. … It is excellent reference material for anyone interested in understanding policy and policymaking beyond the traditional reading of policy documents. This is a valuable addition, and it promises to be useful for students, researchers, advocates and practitioners in comprehending the complex realities of policy and policymaking in a more nuanced way.” (Aniruddha Jena, Asia Pacific Media Educator, April 8, 2021)
