Description

This volume of documents provides a comprehensive account of the dramatic development of the British media from 1945-1995. Using a broad selection of both official and unofficial documents, Negrine brings to life the story of the growth of television and newspapers in British society. Opening with an introductory chapter that sets the background to the key developments in technology, policy and political ideologies during this period, the book then looks thematically as terrestrial broadcasting, the advent of cable and satellite, the politicisation of broadcasting, the press and its changing role in society.

Description

Now available as an ebook for the first time, this 2000 title in the Melland Schill Studies in International Law series is a survey of the history of law of neutrality from its mediaeval roots to the end of the twentieth century. The theme is the eternal clash between the rights of neutrals and belligerents - between the right of belligerents to defeat their enemies, and the right of neutrals to trade freely with all parties. Over the centuries, belligerent powers have devised various legal means of restricting neutrals from trading with their enemies, such as the law of blockade and contraband carriage. At the same time, neutral traders have done their best to evade and circumvent these restrictions. This book traces the evolution of state practice, together with the debates over the relevant doctrinal issues and the various attempts to reform and codify the law of neutrality. -- .
