Digital Technology and Communication Policy in Korea cover

Digital Technology and Communication Policy in Korea: From Infrastructure to Artificial Intelligence explores the overlap of politics, policy, and digital development in Korea. Despite attention to digital development and its socio-economic effects across the nation, more research must be devoted to studying how Korean communication policymakers and authorities have coped with innovative technologies and a rapidly changing communication landscape. Chang Yong Son argues that communications policymakers must balance regulatory safety and security commitments against the promotion of innovation and growth in the communication market. Scholars of communication, media studies, technology studies, and Asian studies will find this book of particular interest.

This informative and topical book looks at the intersection of politics on the development of digitalisation and the communication policy in South Korea. By tracing recent changes in Korea's communication policy and ICT ecology it will be relevant to media academics, policymakers and practitioners in the country and beyond. * Petros Iosifidis, Professor in Media Policy, City St George's, University of London, UK *
With this very comprehensive study, Chang Yong Son has provided a detailed mapping of Korea’s very distinctive path toward becoming a digital nation, and the balancing act between intervention ad innovation that has often ensued. * Terry Flew, Professor of Digital Communication and Culture, The University of Sydney, Australia *
