Advocacy Coalitions and Democratizing Media Reforms in Latin America

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the dynamics of media reforms in Latin America, the author explores why certain countries have embraced broadcasting changes while others have resisted. By emphasizing the influence of civil society coalitions rather than solely government repression, the book reveals how these groups have championed communication rights, leading to tangible outcomes like the establishment of community radio. Through a comparative analysis of Argentina and Brazil, alongside insights from Chile and Uruguay, it sheds light on the evolving power relations and social forces shaping policymaking in the region.
