Citizenship, Democracies, and Media Engagement among Emerging Economies and Marginalized Communities

This volume analyzes the contexts in which emerging economies in Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Asia can chart their socioeconomic futures through progressive democratic practices and media engagement. Using political and development communication, along with case studies from selected countries in these regions, the volume addresses human rights policies, diplomatic practices, democratization, good governance, identity politics, terrorism, collective action, gendered crimes, political psychology, and citizen journalism as paradigms for sustainable growth. Through practical experiences and field research in the selected countries, scholars show how personal and national freedoms as well as business deals have been negotiated in a bid to create a new socioeconomic culture within the nations.

Acest volum analizeaza contextele in care economiile emergente din Africa, Caraibe, America Centrala si de Sud, Orientul Mijlociu si Asia isi pot planifica viitorul socioeconomic prin practici democratice progresive si implicare in mass-media. Folosind comunicarea politica si de dezvoltare, impreuna cu studii de caz din tari selectate din aceste regiuni, volumul abordeaza politicile privind drepturile omului, practicile diplomatice, democratizarea, buna guvernanta, politica identitatii, terorismul, actiunea colectiva, crimele de gen, psihologia politica si jurnalismul cetatean ca paradigme pentru o crestere durabila.
