Abstract
"The persistent questions of development and democracy continue to challenge scholars, media professionals, and activists working with global media and communication. Sosale examines ways in which the field of communication and development was shaped against a backdrop of discussions on international communication democracy - the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO). She develops a critical and cultural framework, method, and mode of analysis to study these discussions. Examining a variety of texts such as policy documents, academic publications, reports, and official documents published when the NWICO debates were at their most intense - she maps a discourse of communication, development and social change. On the premise that to be able to define and confer meaning is a critical step toward democratic empowerment, Sosale accounts for the struggle to establish selected meanings and ideologies surrounding communication and development during this particular time period in recent history. Concluding with a look at the postdevelopment era and new media, she reviews some new paths to development and their implications for the future of communication and social change in developing societies."--BOOK JACKET.
