| Abstract: | During the early 1960s, U.S. policymakers first envisioned a global television system linked by satellite technology. Their utopian discourse suggested that, in the face of Third World "unrest" and growing Soviet competition, television would play an important role in promoting an "imagined community" of citizens throughout the Free World. This notion of cultural and geographic integration is examined in comparison to nineteenth-century political strategies which led to the foundation of the modern nation- state. |
