Emerging approaches to policy and regulation of online video services in Canada and Argentina

The project consist of analyzing the emerging approaches for policy-making and regulation of global online video service providers in Argentina and Canada. Some of the ongoing discussions on how to address them follow the European approach, after the enactment of the 2018 Audiovisual Service Directive. Measures such as content quotas, financial contributions and prominence obligations on national content are being discussed in Argentina and Canada as methods to address the problems of market failures, safeguard national identities and promote diversity.
The expected result of the plan is to publish an article in a top ranked journal in order to make a contribution to the tradition of political economy studies as well as to policy- makers. It is also expected to strengthen our research networking by attending to the Global Media Internet Concentration Project First conference, where I participate as a researcher and a member of the Executing Steering Commitee.
