"Exploring recent developments in Asian television systems in the context of the continually changing global environment, this book covers India, China, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan. Country-based analyses are preceded by contributions which analyse processes at the regional level. Chapters explore how television in Asia has responded to new threats and opportunities and provide evidence against the view that global forces will destroy national and regional differences."
