The Routledge Handbook of Digital Media and Globalization

In this comprehensive volume, leading scholars of media and communication examine the nexus of globalization, digital media, and popular culture in the early 21st century.

The book begins by interrogating globalization as a critical and intensely contested concept, and proceeds to explore how digital media have influenced a complex set of globalization processes in broad international and comparative contexts. Contributors address a number of key political, economic, cultural, and technological issues relative to globalization, such as free trade agreements, cultural imperialism, heterogeneity, the increasing dominance of American digital media in global cultural markets, the powers of the nation-state, and global corporate media ownership. By extension, readers are introduced to core theoretical concepts and practical ideas, which they can apply to a broad range of contemporary media policies, practices, movements, and technologies in different geographic regions of the world-North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia.

Scholars of global media, international communication, media industries, globalization, and popular culture will find this to be a singular resource for understanding the interconnected relationship between digital media and globalization.

在這本全面的著作中，媒體和傳播的領先學者們探討了21世紀初全球化、數位媒體和流行文化的交集。

該書首先對全球化進行了深入探討，將其視為一個關鍵且極具爭議的概念，並進一步探索了數位媒體在廣泛的國際和比較背景下對一系列全球化過程的影響。貢獻者們就全球化相關的一些重要政治、經濟、文化和技術問題進行了討論，例如自由貿易協定、文化帝國主義、異質性、美國數位媒體在全球文化市場上的日益主導地位、國家的權力以及全球企業媒體所有權。通過這些討論，讀者們將瞭解到核心理論概念和實踐思想，並能將其應用於世界各地不同地理區域的當代媒體政策、實踐、運動和技術。

全球媒體、國際傳播、媒體產業、全球化和流行文化的學者們將會發現這本書是一個獨特的資源，用於理解數位媒體和全球化之間相互關聯的關係。
