Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions. New technologies, political upheavals, changed concepts of human rights – all these conspire to make this an important moment for rethinking and reformulating speech freedom and regulation in a global environment. The ability of any state fully to control the images that permeate its territory is questioned everywhere. During the 1990s, destiny seemed to lie with the freedom to receive and impart ideas regardless of national boundaries. But it would be naive to see the world as a place where information moves without various forms of restriction. Redefined state power and changes in modes and practices of authority are more likely than what is often characterized as state decline. States have undergone a frenzied testing of new and modified techniques aimed at regulating, if not mastering, the market for speech in response to the forces that seem to undercut their autonomy. In particular, there is a shift away from the singularly inward forms of state control to outward-looking, regional, or multilateral approaches, and away from law and reg ulatio n toward negotiation and agreement. The tentacles of influence by one state over the media of another are hardly new, but the process of interaction, through treaty or agreement on the flow of ideas, information, and sheer data, is everyday, intensifying. Globalization of media encompasses more than the pervasive activities of big conglomerates and the extent to which messages they produce dominate the world's consciousness. The global media market is far more enveloping than a forum for trade in films and television pro gram m es. It is also an increasin gly interdependent site for the development and application of formal and informal rules that shape common narratives, a space in which ideologies compete and forge allegiances that ultimately determine the persistence of governments and nations themselves, and an arena where imagery becomes a supplement or substitute for force. Pressure to affect policy formulation and public opinion abroad has always been a preoccupation of those holding or seeking power as governments attem p t to influen ce p opulatio ns throu gh propag anda, bo th insid e an d beyond their boundaries. With the stakes greatly raised since September 11, 2001, governments, more explicit, now, about the interplay between conflict, instability, ideology, recognize their need to affect hearts and minds abroad. 46. Why is speech freedom reformulating its regulation in a global environment?
