| Abstract: | Conceptions of the state underlie all information and communication policy, for the state uses policy as tools of power. This is true whether those conceptions are well or poorly formed, understood or not, explicit or implicit - but, as Bell (1995) points out in this issue, failure to understand the state leads to an inability to analyze policy. Historically, however, policy analysis has tended to treat the state generally as a venue , a justification for particular positions, or one institutional player among many. |
