This unit introduces students to the Communication patterns in the Asia-Pacific, a region where media has registered phenomenal growth. The potential audience numbers in some of the developing countries in the region has catapulted communication industry, including media, into one of the most vibrant sectors in the world. The unit, through case studies drawn from growing powers like India and China and smaller countries as Sri Lanka and Fiji, looks at how communication flows lead to complex political and cultural environments, defying simple mapping and calling into question some of the discourses on globalisation. -- Course Website
