The Programme in Comparative Media Policy and Law Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at Oxford University exists to provide a framework for understanding the background, mechanisms, and prospects of the processes of media restructuring. The Programme is also the UNESCO Chair in Communications Law and Policy for the United Kingdom and manages the Media Know How Project, which provides and disseminates information on British and other European media law and policies that can be used to help develop and reform aspects of Russian media law and practice.
