It evaluates and critiques these reform processes, arguing that because of dependency approaches resulting from the transplanting of policy framework from the West into these emerging democracies, the policy goals and objectives of the reforms have not been achieved. Consequently, the inherent socio-cultural, economic and political factors, coupled with the historical antecedents of these countries, have also affected the reform process...Drawing from policy documents, analyses and interviews, Ufuoma Akpojivi argues that the lack of citizens’ active participation in policy processes has led to neo-liberalization and the continued universalization of Western ideologies such as democracy, media freedom and independence. Akpojivi posits that the recognition of socio-cultural, political and economic factors inherent to these emerging democracies, coupled withthe communal participation of citizens, will facilitate true media reform processes and development of these countries.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Media Policy; Media Reform; Democracy; Development; Ghana; Nigeria | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-75301-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-09196-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-75301-0 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
