“…This transformation found strong support from a pair of contingencies: first, the collapse of Soviet socialism; second, in the wake of the 1980s international debt crisis and the structural adjustment programs that followed, elites within the less developed countries embraced US-originated "neoliberal" policies (Chakravarty & Sarikakis, 2006;Prashad, 2007). The result of these two epochal changes was to universalize the capitalist market.…”

This article explicates three basic aspects of the conflicted history of transnational communications networks: How extraterritorial communications have functioned since the nineteenth century as a primary axis of expansion for a transnationalizing capitalism; how geopolitical pressures and rivalries have helped break down and reconstitute network infrastructures; and how contemporary US -China relations in respect to the Internet may be set within this historical framework. The longstanding dominance of the United States over extraterritorial networks was itself a historical outcome, and today it faces escalating -but still far from successful -challenges.

“…Policy, moreover, is negotiated across a broad range of institutions and actors. Though one realm of policy making is that of the official laws, acts, regulations, and enforcement agencies, an equally important ground, as pointed out by Chakravartty and Sarikakis (2006), is that occupied by "publics that engage in more informal ways with the social outcomes of policy shifts whether as audiences, consumers, citizens or merely by exclusion" (p. 5). We must continue to strive to understand how policy affects the public (and audience) whom it is designed to protect and serve: the children themselves.…”

“…By the 2000s, the European media landscape had been intensively liberalized and radically transformed, dominated by a few media moguls. Public service broadcasting systems had sustained multiple assaults as to their raison d' etre and the legitimacy of state -public moniessupport (Chakravartty and Sarikakis 2006;Iosifidis 2010). The new status quo challenged the notion of 'citizen' associated with public media and their role in providing for comprehensive content, universality of access and innovative programming.…”

Citizens in 'an ever-closer union'? the long path to a public sphere in the eu 1 abstraCt As Europe is facing a continuous financial and, for many, political and social crisis, long-standing issues of European identity, solidarity and democracy reappear more pronounced than before. In these times, often, the historical developments that have given rise to questioning the European project, its legitimacy and potential future, as well as the treatment of these questions by its political and executive helm are not adequately understood. The role of a European 'common space' in terms of debate but also in political action and direction is inextricably connected to the question of legitimacy of the EU and, often, conflicting visions about its raison d' etre. Historically, the creation of an EU public sphere has been confused with distinct goals of political mobilization for electoral purposes. The strategies developed to advance a broaderand ultimately deeper -sense of belonging have been idealistic, insufficient and muddled owing to lack of political vision and resources. Contextualizing this historical 'baggage' with reference to the legacy of invisibility and transparency, the article reviews the politics behind strategic communication of the EU towards its citizens in the shape of Plan D, the Lisbon Treaty's citizen initiative and the development of EU media policy constrained by ambiguous and volatile relations between the EU and the media.
