*The Palgrave Global Media Policy and Business Series* has published to 
date 15 volumes since its launch in 2012. Concentrating on the social, 
cultural, political, economic, institutional and technological changes 
arising from the globalisation of media and communications industries, 
the series considers the impact of these changes on matters of business 
practice, regulation and policy, and social outcomes.

The policy side encompasses the challenge of conceiving policy-making as 
a reiterative process that recurrently addresses such key challenges as 
inclusiveness, participation, universal access and freedom in an 
increasingly globalized media and communications environment. The 
business side encompasses a political economy approach that looks at the 
power of transnational corporations in specific contexts–and the 
controversies associated with these global conglomerates. The business 
side considers the emergence of small and medium media enterprises, the 
disruption of media industries and markets by digital technologies and 
new competitors, and the development of new approaches to media 
economics and management that respond to such challenges.

Focusing on issues of media convergence, industry concentration, and new 
communications practices, the series analyses the tensions between 
systems based on national decision-making and publicly-oriented 
participatory structures and a more global perspective demarcated by 
commercialization, privatization and monopolization. Based on a 
multi-disciplinary approach, the series tackles three key questions:

•         To what extent do new media developments require changes in 
regulatory philosophy and objectives?

•         To what extent do new technologies and changing media 
consumption require changes in business practices and models?

•         And to what extent do privatization, globalization and 
commercialization alter the creative freedom, cultural and political 
diversity, and public accountability of media enterprises?

If you have a book idea or proposal, please send to series editor Petros 
Iosifidis (P.Iosifidis /at/ city.ac.uk) <mailto:(P.Iosifidis /at/ city.ac.uk)>.
