I am impressed with the clarity of the argument and the value of the project—for what is at stake in it is a more balanced, less rhetorically driven debate on the relations of the state and forces of supranational change. . . . A significant contribution to the literature.

The essays assembled here will stimulate and facilitate further comparative analysis of the responses of media systems in different countries to the forces of globalization.
