Rapid changes to the world's political, economic and cultural environment require new and critical perspectives. The Global Political Economy of Communication is a collection by scholars from disciplines such as economics, politics and communications. Its chapters recognise communication developments as core components in global transformations taking place throughout the international political economy. Edward Comor considers the fields of international political economy (IPE) and the political economy of communication (PEC) to be important but under-utilised in attempts to understand the implications of these changes. As such, this book directly relates and builds upon these usually isolated fields.
