Rezensionen

"Communication is central to world politics yet curiously neglected in much of the orthodox study of international relations. Angela Crack s work redresses that neglect making a compelling argument for taking new communication technologies seriously and their potential for mediating a more progressive global politics" - Tony McGrew, Professor of International Relations and Head of the School of Social Sciences, University of Southampton,United Kingdom
