Description
The Media in Transitional Democracies by Katrin Voltmer provides an accessible and systematic introduction to the media in transitional democracies. This book explores how the media facilitate, but also inhibit, democratic practices during periods of transformation from authoritarian rule. The author examines various topics, including normative conceptions of media and democracy, the role of the past in the transition process, and the challenges to journalistic professionalism in post-authoritarian contexts. The book takes a global view, analyzing the interplay of political and media transitions in different pathways of democratization across Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This book will be of interest to advanced students and scholars seeking a better understanding of the media outside established Western democracies, as well as policymakers and activists involved in strengthening the media in transitional democracies.
