The emerging Movement on Communication Rights: a New Stakeholder in Global Communication Governance

In this article we address a number of specific questions: Has a global mobilization dynamic developed around communication issues in the early 2000s? What has the WSIS process, and civil society participation within it, shown in terms of framing the communication rights discourse? What encounters and events have contributed to a common vision, strategy and shared identity for this emerging movement? Through which methods and conceptual lenses can researchers investigate these phenomena to gain a better understanding of their potential impact on global processes? Our ultimate aim is to assess the relevance of this specific event as a step in the evolution of contemporary mobilizations around communication rights, considering civil society as a \u201cstakeholder\u201d in global communication governance for the 21st century
