Course content
What is the role of media in modern democracies?
How does media shape the transformation of contemporary democratic systems? Why do economic processes often lead to global and national financial crises and inequality rather than stability and democratization? In what ways do governance structures influence organisations and communication, and how do organisations and governance systems shape political, economic, and communicative activity?
