Rethinking Media and Communication : A Critical Sociological Lens /
:
In this book, the authors address critical questions about the role of media and communication in capitalist societies. How do power structures shape communication processes? How are inequalities reinforced across different levels of society-micro, mezzo, and macro? Drawing on sociology, political economy, media studies and related fields, the book offers fresh insights into how communication supports capitalist domination, from media commodification to media concentration. It calls for a rethinking of how communication affects social relations and how social relations influence communication, exposing its deep connection to economic and political power. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping today's media landscape.

The Political Economy of Oil in Venezuela : Class Conflict, the State, and the World Market /
:
The Political Economy of Oil in Venezuela re-examines oil dependency debates, situated within an analysis of Venezuela's Bolivarian Process from 1999-2016. Drawing on interviews with Venezuelan politicians, economists, scholars and activists, as well as extensive archival research, the book explores the potential for class struggle to shape national oil development and conditions of oil dependency. It situates Venezuela's Bolivarian Process within a broader regional shift to the left in Latin America, the structures of the global oil market and Venezuela's role as oil-exporter in the global economy, popular class struggle in Venezuela arising out of the neoliberal period, and the history of Venezuelan rentier accumulation. Ultimately, the book explores the question of agency in conversation with structural analyses of rent and natural resource dependency.

Crisis management in late antiquity (410-590 CE) : a survey of the evidence from episcopal letters /
:
Pauline Allen and Bronwen Neil investigate crisis management as conducted by the increasingly important episcopal class in the 5th and 6th centuries. Their basic source is the neglected corpus of bishops' letters in Greek and Latin, the letter being the most significant mode of communication and information-transfer in the period from 410 to 590 CE. The volume brings together into a wider setting a wealth of previous international research on episcopal strategies for dealing with crises of various kinds. Six broad categories of crisis are identified and analysed: population displacement, natural disasters, religious disputes and religious violence, social abuses and the breakdown of the structures of dependence. Individual case-studies of episcopal management are provided for each of these categories. This is the first comprehensive treatment of crisis management in the late-antique world, and the first survey of episcopal letter-writing across the later Roman empire.
