Three drivers of such changes include: (1) the uncoupling of media content from specific media platforms, whereas much media regulation is platform-based; (2) the increasingly complex question of who is a media content provider, given the rise of content intermediaries such as Google, as well as the rapid growth of user-created or ‘amateur’ media content; and (3) how to achieve regulatory parity between media companies based within particular nation-states and global media companies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: left; line-height: 24px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: left; line-height: 24px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><span lang="EN-US">Papers will consider transformations in the media environment associated with convergent media policies and the rise of social media. They will consider the extent to which common regulatory challenges, such as the future of copyright law and the rise of global media platforms, are generating the diffusion of policy innovations in the communications sphere, particularly around responses that focus uponregulatory design and behavioral change rather than black-letter law, and media content rules applied by government regulatory agencies, or <i>ad hoc</i> interventions by content intermediaries themselves. Papers will consider these issues from the perspective of both developed and developing nations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;
