Review Quotes:
"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.
