[Preeti Raghunath]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you the release of my book, '*Community Radio
Policies in South Asia: A Deliberative Policy Ecology Approach*', with
Palgrave Macmillan. It is part of the Palgrave Series on Communication for
Social Change.

*About the Book:*



The book draws on critical media policy studies, to study the principles
and performances of policies and policymaking for community radio in four
countries of South Asia---Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. It
focuses on the processes and practices of deliberation that go into
policymaking, across space and time, and the global-local spectrum. It
stitches together a critical media policy ethnography, drawing on over a
100 formal interviews and informal conversations with policy actors from
South Asia, in a bid to present a deliberative policy analysis of
policymaking for community radio in the region.  Drawing on Grounded
Theory, the book fleshes out the Deliberative Policy Ecology Approach as an
inclusive heuristic to study media policies.
