"The Five Communication Management Decision Tool helps reformers and their teams develop a framework for their communication strategies. This decision tool helps managers see change initiatives through the eyes of those who will be affected by the reforms. When the decision tool is used in the early... stages of the development of change programs, reformers gain an even deeper understanding of the stakeholders’ perspectives on the reforms, which influences stakeholder opposition or support for them. Such understanding will not only be instructive, but possibly transformative—for both change agents and those stakeholders whose support is critical to the success of reform. Reform agents may recognize the source of stakeholder resistance and be able to revise reform goals and redesign change interventions. Stakeholders who have a shared understanding of why the status quo is not acceptable and change is necessary are more likely to create coalitions of committed allies and supporters who will work together to achieve reform goals. This workbook illustrates how the decision tool can be used for various types of change and reform initiatives—from policy reform, to country and donor partnership agreements, to sectoral reforms."

"Mediante esta recopilación de artículos, Calandria pretende aportar diversas reflexiones sobre el papel que la radio viene desempeñando en nuestro país, tanto a nivel masivo, como en los esfuerzos por construir radios alternativas de carácter popular. Se demuestra así, como el medio no es un ...simple instrumento de manipulación o liberación, sino un espacio de comunicación y de construcción de relaciones, que han generado intercambios y "enredos" entre la cultura popular y la de masas."
