DESCRIPTION

Changing Geopolitics of Global Communication examines the rapidly evolving
dynamics between global communication and geopolitics.

As an intersection between communication and international relations, it bridges
the existing gap in scholarship and highlights the growing importance of digital
communication in legitimizing and promoting the geopolitical and economic goals
of leading powers. One central theme that emerges in the book is the continuity
of asymmetries in power relations that can be traced back to 19th-century
European imperialism, manifested in its various incarnations from ‘liberal’ to
‘neo-liberal’, to ‘digital’ imperialism. The book includes a discussion of the
post–Cold War US-led transformation of the hardware and software of global
communication and how it has been challenged by the ‘rise of the rest’,
especially China. Other key issues covered include the geopolitics of image
wars, weaponization of information and the visibility of discourses emanating
from outside the Euro-Atlantic zone.

The ideas and arguments advanced here privilege a reading of geopolitical
processes and examples from the perspective of the global South. Written by a
leading scholar of global communication, this comprehensive and
transdisciplinary study adopts a holistic approach and will be of interest to
the global community of scholars, researchers and commentators in communication
and international relations, among other fields.

CRITICS' REVIEWS

> "Extensively researched and cogently argued, this first book-length study of
> the changing dynamics of global communication and international politics, by a
> leading scholar in the field, bridges the existing gap between international
> relations and international communication. A must read."
> Nancy Snow, author of Propaganda, Inc. and Information War: American
> Propaganda, Free Speech and Opinion Control Since 9-11.
> 
> "It is far from easy to bring together two very different academic fields –
> global communication and international relations. Daya Thussu does it
> brilliantly with this book. Through his critical approach, historically
> informed, he explores in depth the many ways in which the rise of large
> non-Western countries in the international scene has resulted in a series of
> major changes in the geopolitics of global communication."
> Tristan Mattelart, professor at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University.
> 
> "Once again, Daya Thussu is leading the field in identifying and making sense
> of the shifting flows, channels, and structures of global communication, with
> a discerning eye for the 'rise of the rest' and its accompanying geopolitical
> challenges."
> Yu Hong, Professor, Zhejiang University, China.
