Sponsored by the ICA's Philosophy of Communication Division and Political Communication Division. Organised by the CEU/CMCS; the Project for Global Communication Studies, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania; and the COST A30 Action European Media Scholars Network.

The pre-conference, which was organised ahead of the 2006 ICA conference in Dresden on "Networking, Communication, and Research," focused on the relationship between research and policymaking. How can the scholarly community impact the policy agenda and influence policymaking institutions?

Participants engaged in a critical dialogue to advance an agenda for future research on issues related to how media laws and policies affect and impact democratization and social transition.
