Media Development Paper Series

Stanhope is working to shape a network of graduate students and young scholars in media studies who bring critical analysis to current scholarship relating media development to the shaping of democratic societies. Three studies at LSE's Development Studies Institute were completed last year, with Stanhope guidance: theses on media assistance in Egypt, Afghanistan and South Africa. Susan Abbott, who has been the Stanhope program assistant in Budapest, has also contributed to this work. A proposal has just been submitted for a similar study on Iraq.
