Abstract
In just over ten years between 1990 and 2002, 52 countries moved from authoritarianism to electoral democracy (Freedom House 2013), while 140 of the world’s almost 200 independent nations held multiparty elections (Dyer 2004). This surge of democratisation, which Huntington (1996) termed the “third wave”1, has exerted a profound impact on media-state relations in the world.
