Abstract:

For its reach and access by the masses - influencing values, culture and public opinion - the control of and influence in communications has long been essential to those in pursuit of power. Indeed, in countries where there has been an overthrow of an existing regime, forces leading change first seize control of the broadcast media. The primary reason for such control is for access to the masses, to 'inform' and 'control' them.

Globalisation and Ecological Integrity in Science and International Law
This volume returns to one of the major themes of the Global Ecological Integrity Group: the interface between integrity as a scientific concept and a number of important issues in ethics, international law and public health. The main scholars who have worked on these topics over the years return to re-examine these dimensions from the viewpoint of global governance.
