Prospects and Pitfalls of Douglass North's New Institutional Economics Approach for Global Media Policy Research

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This article aims to respond to the goal of this edited volume to discuss new or rarely employed theoretical and methodological ways of analysing communication policy. More specifically, attention is devoted to the search for adequate frameworks and methodologies in the emerging but under-theorized field of global media policy. Specifically, the article will present the new institutional economics approach by its most important proponent and theoretician, Douglass C. North , and we discuss its relevance for the analysis of Global Media Policy and of global audiovisual policy in particular. This issue will be used throughout the article to illustrate and tentatively apply the theoretical elaboration.
