This key textbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of developments in international communication worldwide. Taking a comparative approach to the major theories of global media, Terry Flew looks at the rise of global media production networks and the emergence of 'media cities', multiculturalism, and the question of a global media culture. This engaging book raises the question of whether we are now in a 'post-global' age, and discusses whether there is a stable global communications order, or instead a stage of increased competition among digital and traditional media, and between the US and emergent powers such as China.

Drawing on a wide range of perspectives, and written by a renowned author, this is an essential introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students of media studies, communication studies and cultural studies, and anyone interested in the study of media and globalization.

Terry Flew is Professor of Media and Communication in the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. He is the author of eight books, including Media Economics (2015), Global Creative Industries (2013) and The Creative Industries, Culture and Policy (2012). He chaired the Australian Law Reform Commission Review of the National Media Classification Scheme in 2011-12, and has been an Executive Board member of the International Communications Association and the Australian Research Council College of Experts. He is an internationally recognized leader in global media and communications research, whose books and articles have been translated into multiple languages.
