International radio has been a very in the significant instrument in the evolution of media and as an instrument of foreign policy for many nations. It has also undergone major transformations over the past 50 or more years. Every major political power, many countries around the world, and many other quasi-national bodies and organizations, such as the Vatican, have used international radio to get their messages disseminated internationally.The Age of International Radio examines the many players, organizations and national agencies which have been active in the arena of international radio. The volume unravels the many transformations and evolutions of international radio and focuses on Radio Canada International, RCI, which has been one of the prime players in the field. The intent of the volume, as the author states, is ...through a discussion of successive comparative and internalprogram evaluations, to reveal, if not a full picture, a least a reasonable glimpse of the output of RCI and several international broadcast organizations during the last two decades.
