Rezensionen

"Sorely missing in the academic literature on
communication was a solid book on governance. The Mansell-Raboy
text repairs this splendidly. Precious reading for those with an
interest in policy issues."

- Cees J. Hamelink, professor emeritus of international
communication, University of Amsterdam

"A comprehensive and authoritative resource for understanding
key policy issues arising from the Communications Revolution,
within a coherent framework shaped by a historical vision and a
critical eye. Excellent."

- Denis McQuail, Amsterdam School for Communication
