The book provides insights into the BBCs working relationship with the Foreign Office, the early years of the Empire Service, and the role of the BBC during the Second World War. In following the voice of the BBC through the Cold War and the contraction of the British empire, the book argues that debates about the work and purposes of the World Service have always involved deliberations about the future of the UK and its place in the world. In current times, these debates have been shaped by the British governments commitment to leave the European Union and the centrifugal currents in British politics which in the longer term threaten the integrity of the United Kingdom. Through a detailed exploration of its past, the book poses questions about the World Services possible future and argues that, for the BBC, the question is not only what it means to be a global broadcaster as we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, but what it means to be a national broadcaster in a divided kingdom. 000917268 61020 $$aBBC World Service$$xHistory. 000917268 650_0 $$aInternational broadcasting$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000917268 7001_ $$aRobertson, Emma. 000917268 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z0230355609$$z9780230355606$$w(OCoLC)1103986865 000917268 852__ $$bebk 000917268 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-31855-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000917268 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:917268$$pGLOBAL_SET 000917268 980__ $$aEBOOK 000917268 980__ $$aBIB 000917268 982__ $$aEbook 000917268 983__ $$aOnline 000917268 994__ $$a92$$bISE
