Zusatztext The supply for knowledge on international public relations has certainly not kept pace with the increased demand from practice. So, every attempt to add to the body of knowledge should be welcomed with enthusiastic support. This volume goes beyond that basic need by setting new vistas for future studies with the goal of expanding horizons. All those who are passionate about global public relations should applaud every such attempt at building a holistic and comprehensive body of knowledge that will also have relevance to practice.- From the Foreword byKrishnamurthy Sriramesh,Purdue University, USA'This is an important contribution to public relations scholarship as it strongly positions the field outside the liberal democratic and corporatist norm, with emphasis on dialogue in divided societies supported by national and situational case studies.' - Tom Watson, Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Media & Communication, Bournemouth University, UK'This book opens up ways of seeing how public relations and communication operates in complex, fraught environments where the idea of setting clear objectives, targeting audiences, delivering slick messages, are continually undermined by the fluid contexts of conflict and division. It will be an important addition to the growing body of work on public relations beyond the organisational context.' - Lee Edwards, Associate Professor, Communication Studies and PR, University of Leeds, UK Informationen zum Autor Ian Somerville is a Reader in Media and Communication at the University of Leicester, UK.
