"This is the final report of the research commission "toward a Latin Audiovisual Space." The term "Audiovisual Space" marks the emergence of a new diplomatic vocabulary to indicate the rapid new developments of communication and information systems, particularly television, which demand new strategi

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."

"Although rural development, especially in the Third World, is a major concern of UNESCO, emphasis here is upon those uses of media which support community initiatives in urban settings or were introduced to help resolve tensions and problems. Media are not limited to newspapers and broadcasting; th

ey also include such other forms as wall posters, mimeographed newsletters, audio cassettes and portable video equipment. Emphasis, however, is not upon the medium or its mode of delivery, but rather upon its function within a community program to focus upon the urban problem. Scope is international and arrangement is by country: Africa, the Arab world, Australia, the Caribbean (a case study), Europe, India, Japan, Latin America, North America and the Philippines. An appendix includes extracts from the Final Report of the Urban Community Media Consultation, UNESCO: "Proposals for related activities," and "Proposals for future activities and research programmes.'' A 1977 study edited by Frances J. Berrigan, 'Access: Some Western Modern Models of Community Media' (UNESCO), is a discussion accompanied by case studies of different ways in which communities in the U. S., Canada and some European countries have provided access for audience participation in broadcasting programming for both television and radio." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.

"How have the overthrow of the Somoza regime in 1979 and a new and very different political approach to government affected Nicaragua's communication system? To discover the effects the author has studied not only the structure and development of the communication system - print, broadcasting and fi

lm - but also the history and political, socio-economic, cultural and educational system behind it. This is all brought together in a final "Interconnections between Communication and other Subsystems of Nicaragua." Most of the research was done in the country itself through numerous interviews with a wide variety of Nicaraguans. In conclusion is a bibliography which includes books and papers, decrees, and newspapers, newsletters and magazines. This is a very thorough study." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.
