More about the book:
Informed Publics, Media and International Law analyses international media law frameworks and the 'mediatization' of international law in institutional settings, exposing the complexity of the interrelationship between international law and the media. The book points to the dangers involved in international law's associated and increasing reliance upon mediated techniques of communicative capitalism – such as publicity – premised upon an informed international public whose existence many now question. The book explores the ways in which traditional regulatory and analytical categories are increasingly challenged - revealed as inadequate or bypassed - but also assesses their resilience and future utility in light of significant technological change.
In this monograph Daniel Joyce argues that international law depends on informed global publics to function and to address the complex global problems which we face. He draws into view the role media plays in relation to international law, but also the role of international law in regulating the media, and reveals the communicative character of international law.
