Book Description

This edited book aims at bringing together a range of contemporary expertise that can shed light on the relationship between media pluralism in Latin America and processes of democratization and social justice. In doing so, the authors of the book provide empirically grounded theoretical insight into the extent to which questions about media pluralism―broadly understood as the striving for diverse and inclusive media spheres―are an essential part of scholarly debates on democratic goveance.The rise in recent years of authoritarianism, populism and nationalism, both in fragile and stable democratic systems, makes media pluralism an intellectual and empirical coerstone of any debate about the future of democratic goveance around the world. This book―useful for students and researchers on topics such as Media, Communications, Latin American Studies and Politics―aims to make a contribution to such debate by approaching some pressing questions about the relationship of Latin American govements with media structures, joualistic practices, the communication capabilities of vulnerable populations and the expressive opportunities of the general public.
