Communication plays a central part in the increasing global interconnectedness of contemporary societies, nations and economies. In this book Cees J Hamelink examines the political processes and decisions which determine the global communication environment.Mass communication, telecommunication, data traffic, intellectual property and communication technology have all been regulated by agreements within the international community. Examining negotiation processes and their outcomes, the author offers an analysis of the global politics of communication and its implications for specific nations, areas and communities. Underlying the analysis is a fundamental concern with communication as an issue of human rights which raises the question: Do the standards agreed on world communication address the interests of ordinary people in their everyday lives?

Un couple d''Américains en pleine traversée du désert de l''amour, abordant un port de l''angoisse en Amérique centrale, un mystérieux flâneur vivant avec sa jeune compagne adonnée à la drogue dans un appartement trop luxueux : c''est le parfait quatuor d''une chronique exotique. Une mère et son fils dont le chemin croise celui d''un couple de voyageurs. Les visiteurs sont crédules, pleins de préjugés, les jeunes indigènes n''aspirent qu''à la fugue : le voyage, pour les uns comme pour les autres, sera une expérience de transfiguration. Mais ici, la mère en déroute meurt dans un incendie, le couple de voyageurs tombe brusquement malade. La cité de la peur bruisse de bruits inquiétants - le chant des criquets, des voix dans la nuit, le battement d''un tambour, un magnétophone crachant des bruitages -, et le voyage se termine au cours d''une nuit d''épouvante collective, une fiesta où chacun, déguisé en singe et en démon, tente de terroriser son voisin. Le puzzle se reforme. Le piège se referme. La chronique exotique s''achève en drame policier. " La frayeur n''est jamais rien d''autre qu''un assemblage inédit. "

Paul Bowles says: Each man''s life has the quality he gives it, but you can''t say that life itself has any qualities. If we suffer, it''s because we haven''t learned how not to. The man who wrote the books didn''t exist. No Writer exists. He exists in his books, and that''s all. I write unconsciously, without knowing what I am writing.
