Contemporary Television: Eastern Perspectives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: French, David / Richards, Michael / Richards, Michael, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The rapid proliferation of satellite and cable television in recent years combined with the increasing importance of ideologies of free trade have brought up a number of very important issues. These have acquired particular salience in Asian countries where the ownership of television sets is growing at a phenomenal pace. Focusing on the global and local issues arising from the internationalization of television, this important volume provides an Asian reading of the emerging tensions between commercial realities and the desire to preserve cultural identities. Contemporary Television begins by focusing on two areas of growth--global media and media education. The contributors use the globalization debate to point to the energetic spread of television: the growing size of audiences, ever-hungry for a wider choice of fare, and the importance of the Asian market. They also contextualize the growth of television as a medium of entertainment in this era of globalization and discuss the nature and importance of media education given recent developments. This book also examines contemporary themes relating to television and suggests an agenda for future debates and will be invaluable for students and scholars of mass media, communication, media education, and journalism. Broadcasters and journalists will also be interested in this volume as well as those concerned with the growth of television and its impact on our lives.

Ethnic Conflict and International Security

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Michael E., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, During the Cold War, most international relations theorists and strategic studies analysts paid little attention to ethnic and other forms of communal conflict. Disregard for the importance of ethnic and nationality issues in world affairs, always misguided so far as the developing world was concerned, has been overtaken, in stunning fashion, by recent events from Abkhazia to Zaire. The essays in this volume advance our understanding of the causes of ethnic and communal conflict, the regional and international implications of such conflicts, and what the international community can do to minimize the potential for instability and violence. Drawn from recent issues of "Survival," they are organized along thematic rather than regional lines, and will be required reading for scholars, students, and policymakers alike. The contributors to the volume include Michael Brown on the causes and implications of ethnic conflict, Anthony Smith on the ethnic sources of nationalism, David Welsh on domestic politics and ethnic conflict, Renee de Nevers on democratization and ethnic conflict, and Pierre Hassner on nationalism and internationalism. Jack Snyder writes on nationalism and the crisis of the post-Soviet state, Barry Posen on the security dilemma and ethnic conflict, Kathleen Newland on ethnic conflict and refugees, Jenonne Walker on international mediation of ethnic conflicts, and Robert Cooper and Mats Berdal on outside intervention in ethnic conflicts, Adam Roberts discusses the U.N. and international security, and John Chipman explores managing the politics of parochialism.

A Constitution for the European Union

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blankart, Charles Beat / Mueller, Dennis C., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The leaders of European Union member states have declared that a European constitution should take "a clear, open, effective, democratically controlled Community approach." Their goal--that within the Union, "European institutions should be brought closer to its citizens"--raises many questions about implementation. What is the most effective procedure for connecting citizens' preferences to political action and policy choices at the EU level? The contributors to this CESifo volume, internationally prominent economists and other scholars, address the major issues that arise in the writing of a constitution. They do so with the underlying assumption that individuals are rational actors and the goal of the state is to advance their collective interests. The ten chapters consider such topics as how a constitution might be designed to prevent military conflict, whether the EU will evolve "by default" into a federal state, the apparent contradiction between the evolutionary development of the EU and the static structure of the constitution, the definition of citizenship and rights, the division and distribution of power, the budgetary deadlock on the provision of public goods and the redistribution of resources, coordinating policy, alternative methods for choosing an EU president, and the role of such direct democracy institutions as referenda and initiatives. The editors conclude by summing up the main arguments advanced to offer a unified approach to these issues.

Of Comics and Men: A Cultural History of American Comic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gabilliet, Jean-Paul / Beaty, Bart / Nguyen, Nick, PUBLISHER: University Press of Mississippi, Originally published in France and long sought in English translation, Jean-Paul Gabilliet's "Of Comics and Men: A Cultural History of American Comic Books" documents the rise and development of the American comic book industry from the s to the present. The book intertwines aesthetic issues and critical biographies with the concerns of production, distribution, and audience reception, making it one of the few interdisciplinary studies of the art form. A thorough introduction by translators and comics scholars Bart Beaty and Nick Nguyen brings the book up to date with explorations of the latest innovations, particularly the graphic novel. The book is organized into three sections: a concise history of the evolution of the comic book form in America; an overview of the distribution and consumption of American comic books, detailing specific controversies such as the creation of the Comics Code in the mid-s; and the problematic legitimization of the form that has occurred recently within the academy and in popular discourse. Viewing comic books from a variety of theoretical lenses, Gabilliet shows how seemingly disparate issues--creation, production, and reception--are in fact connected in ways that are not necessarily true of other art forms. Analyzing examples from a variety of genres, this book provides a thorough landmark overview of American comic books that sheds new light on this versatile art form.
