Opis

This title provides a detailed account of the political influence exerted by both domestic and international media in the Asian Pacific region. The author examines how the media has acted as an agent of either stability, restraint or change in countries across the region, including Japan, China and Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Burma. Combining theoretical perspectives with a broad range of empirical case studies, this book is a useful introduction to the significant role of the media in the life of the Asia Pacific region.
