ho, sino más bien hasta el nivel del porqué hacer. En otras palabras, no se presentan métodos y técnicas para el planeamiento del uso de la comunicación, sino más bien principios y criterios que tratan de justificar porqué deberÃan adoptarse algunos tipos de comunicación y ciertas rnodalidades de planeamiento. Esta restricción no solamente no constituye una omisión sino que se ciñe coherentemente a uno de los más caros principios del propio tipo de planeamiento defendido, cual es el de dejar suficiente amplitud y libertad a este plano para que las acciones de él emanadas sean adecuadas para la situación especÃfica de cada momento histórico y de cada ámbito geográfico y social."

rea of communication planning research, and policy makers and planners engaged in the practical tasks of communication planning. This is probably the first comprehensive annotated bibliography on communication policy and planning. The literature on this area is not very large. Books, journal articles, and reports dealing exclusively with communication policy and planning issues are very limited in number. In most cases the policy and planning problems are discussed in the context of other communication problems. Therefore, the selection of items for this bibliography has been somewhat eclectic reflecting our preference, experience, and access to the general literature on communication and development. We limited our search to English language literature on communication that focuses on communication and development." (Preface)
