The course is both historical and global in its orientation and it addresses theoretical, methodological, as well as substantive issues. We begin by exploring the socio-historical and intellectual foundations for the development of the political economy perspective in communication and cultural studies. We then employ the political economy perspective to analyze the organization of communication systems and culture industries in the global context and examine current transformations in these industries. Special emphasis is placed on the processes of commodification, the role of the nation state in the formation of communication policies and regulatory regimes, and the new dynamics of control and resistance in a rapidly transforming global communication and cultural environment.
