New Frontiers in International Communication Theory offers a wide-ranging assessment of the present state of the field of international communication and charts new directions for theory and research. It brings together renowned and emerging scholars who challenge the field to move beyond the limits of existing formulations, approaches, and trajectories, providing an alternative and a supplement to traditional approaches in analysis and study. In rethinking the central problematics of the field, exploring established and new tools and models of inquiry, and articulating new research agendas, this interdisciplinary collection anticipates the future of international communication studies.
International communication is expanding in volume, scope, and significance. Academic study of this field becomes ever more important as new and challenging theoretical issues are on the agenda. This creates the need for sound, readable, and enlightening texts on international communication, and this book is a splendid example of such a text. Highly recommended reading!
