Mapping Research Activities and Interactions Against Global Communications Dynamics: The Case of WSIS and Financing Mechanisms
Report
Sean O'Siochru★ SSRC Sponsored Research
Abstract
Sean O'Siochru examines the role of research in international communications policy, from the top-down expert-driven liberalization agendas of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, to the emergence of civil society actors and development agencies in the late 1990s, to the recent opportunity to inform pro-development ICT policy at the World Summit on the Information Society. The present situation presents opportunities--as yet poorly exploited-for researchers to help articulate a compelling post-liberalization agenda for ICT policy.
