The edited volume “European Media Policy for the Twenty-First Century: Assessing the Past, Setting Agendas for the Future” with contributions from the ECREA-CLP workshop in Salford was published in 2016. Media policy issues sit at the heart of the structure and functioning of media systems in Europe and beyond. This book brings together the work of a range of leading media policy scholars to provide inroads to a better understanding of how effective media policies can be developed to ensure a healthy communication sector that contributes to the wellbeing of individual citizens, as well as a more democratic society. Faced with a general atmosphere of disillusionment in the European project, one of the core questions tackled by the volume’s contributors is: what scope is there for European media policy that can exist beyond the national level? Uniquely, the volume’s chapters are structured around four key policy themes: media convergence; the continued role and position of public regulatory intervention in media policy; policy issues arising from the development of new electronic communication network environments; and lessons for European media policy from cases beyond the EU. In its chapters, the volume provides enriched understandings of the role and significance of policy actors, institutions, structures, instruments and processes in communication and media policy.

“Communication and Media Policy in the Era of the Internet”, containing papers from our Munich workshop, was published in fall 2013. The contributions approach communication and media policy in the era of the Internet from two perspectives: Theories and processes. Special attention is given, on the one hand, to the question of how communication policy-making is transformed due to technical evolution which is intertwined with social and economic developments. On the other hand, this book considers how these transformations can be studied and what insights are produced by distinct theoretical approaches.

The book “Trends in Communication Policy Research” resulting from the Zurich workshop was published in spring 2012 in the ECREA Book Series. It aims to foster such a discussion by offering an overview of and insights into current and future areas of inquiry in this contested policy field. It is argued that scholars need to apply theories that have previously not been considered, to scrutinize research methods more thoroughly and to keep an open mind regarding new research subjects. It is discusses how to approach communication policy issues theoretically and methodologically and which policy challenges are emerging that require scholarly attention. The book is thus divided into three parts: new theories, new methods and new subjects.
