Synopsis

This book looks at how communications policy, from space to television to IT, is developing in Europe, focusing upon the two very different approaches of France and Britain. It raises the following key issues in historical context: * Why has communications policy become increasingly more important during the 1980's? * Why have the French been more successful than the British in space? * How has Thatcher's media policy compared with Mitterrand's? * Have Europeans underestimated the policy challenge and trading strength of both the US and Japan? * Is it a problem that communications policy making in both France and Britain is fragmented between a number of civilian and military agencies?.
