Media and Politics in Pacific Asia examines the political influence of domestic and international media in Pacific Asian countries. Duncan McCargo presents the media as political actors in their own right, analyzing their roles in democratic transitions, stability, and political change. Drawing on research in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, and comparative examples from Burma, Malaysia, and the Philippines, the book explores pressures from state, non-state, and market forces. It addresses key issues such as media freedom, ownership, partisanship, regulation, and public interest, making it useful for academics, students, journalists, and readers interested in Asian studies, politics, and media.
