 From NWICO to WSIS: 30 Years of Communication Geopolitics
Actors and Flows, Structures and Divides.

Edited by
Divina Frau-Meigs, Jérémie Nicey, Michael Palmer, Julia Pohle and 
Patricio Tupper


Two major regulatory activities have framed global media policies since 
World War II: the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) 
and the more recent World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). 
Through extensive research and testimonies from those involved, this 
book presents an in-depth account from the 1970s to the present of the 
major issues concerning information flow in international geopolitics, 
including a look at the negotiations surrounding the major policy 
debates. Few studies of NWICO and WSIS have considered the continuity 
between the two activities – or included in the debate the crucial 
intermediary period between – and this book provides new insight into an 
issue of multilingual and multicultural importance.

    NWICO actor (Mustapha Masmoudi)
