ABSTRACT
LIBERTY BEFORE EQUALITY Internationalisation isn’t what it used to be. Yesterday it was confined to the sphere of exchange and balance of payments in cultural products; now it attacks the structure of the communication systems of national states. Increasingly attuned to the norms of world networking, a new phase is unfolding in the construction of the media world. To enter this new legal, economic and political regime, one word sums it up: deregulation.
