MEDIA COMMUNICATION AND THE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCR...

This book investigates the role of media and communication in processes of democratization in
different political and cultural contexts. Struggles for democratic change are periods of
intense contest over the transformation of citizenship and the reconfiguration of political
power. These democratization conflicts are played out within an increasingly complex media
ecology where traditional modes of communication merge with new digital networks  thus bringing
about multiple platforms for journalists and political actors to promote and contest competing
definitions of reality. The volume draws on extensive case study research in South Africa 
Kenya  Egypt and Serbia to highlight the ambivalent role of the media as force for democratic
change  citizen empowerment  and accountability  as well as driver of polarization 
radicalization and manipulation.
