es, policies and both national and international projects. "Space" indicates geographic boundaries which in this case includes countries speaking French and Spanish or some variation thereof. The report is in four parts: 1) an analysis of the imbalance of the international flows of culture, information, and communications; 2) a linkage between culture and industry to show the main tendencies in the restructuring of the international economy which condition to a large extent the search for audiovisual space; 3) an evaluation of efforts already undertaken to find potential partners and forms of cooperation not only between countries of the North and South, but also South and South; 4) a discussion of the contradictions of reconciling the conquest of foreign markets with the value of domestic expression of national individuality. In the introduction Nicholas Garnham points out this book's relevance to Anglo Saxon reades. He says, "It deals cogently with two of the central contemporary cultural debates, the future of European audiovisual culture and the New World Information." The authors reject the simplistic view that sees the "South as Good and the North as Bad." The individual histories of each country are considered on the recognition that cultural, like economic imperialism, works through the specificities of the local power structure."

n, by increasing the flow of information and its speed of availability and by bypassing the editorial process, can produce a less informed, rather than a better informed, public opinion, and may create tension due to hasty decisions. There will be technical problems of frequency allocation, compatibility of standards, and control of programs and legal problems of copyright and protection against commercial exploitation. Major artistic and political events will be viewed world-wide, simultaneously, reducing parochialism and xenophobia. Communication satellites will aid education, especially in developing countries and facilitate interlibrary exchange of information. They should also create a mutual flow of information between the developed and the developing nations. Information from the latter should cover normal developments in the news, not just crisis situations. An appendix lists participants. This document is based upon papers submitted to the UNESCO meeting of experts on the use of space communication by the mass media (Paris, December 6-10, 1965)." (https://eric.ed.gov)
