[Divina MEIGS]

Dear colleagues

Please note that a New ECREA Series book published by Intellect is available
                
>From NWICO to WSIS: 30 Years of Communication Geopolitics Actors and Flows,
Structures and Divides, a new book in the ECREA series, edited by Divina
Frau-Meigs, Jérémie Nicey, Patricio Tupper, Michael Palmer and Julia Pohle,
has been published.

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.
