The annual Summer Institute brings together young scholars and regulators to discuss important recent trends in technology, international politics and development and their influence on media policy. Participants come from around the world countries represented at previous Institutes include Jordan, Thailand, Kenya, China, Brazil, Egypt, Nigeria, Peru, Pakistan and Russia, among others. The Institute provides them with an environment in which significant policy and research issues are discussed in-depth.
The richness of the experience comes from exposure to a variety of speakers and from the discussions among participants themselves. Theprofiles and testimonies of 2011 Media Policy Fellows can be found here.
The seminars this year will focus on several key areas: media governance in India and China and strategic communication in conflict and post-conflict and transitional environments, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, the successful curriculum that has been the foundation of the Summer Institute over the years will continue, with sessions covering global media policy issues such as media and economic/social development, freedom of information, internet regulation and convergence. Part of the course will be devoted to new developments in comparative approaches to regulation, looking at Ofcom in the UK and other agencies, including examples from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
