Whether peripheral media are representative of Western media imperialism remains up for debate. In some cases, media penetrates neighboring markets in an organic, rather than imperialistic fashion.

The strengths of the article include its careful scrutiny of Asian media, its critical…

Germany West East In the post-unification Germany of the present, the country seems to be caught between two worlds. Certainly, reservations about German power have tapered off. Germany has not become an irredentist nationalist power in European Union attire. In its relations with Western Europe, Germany has been successful in dispelling such fears.
