Mockery, division, conflict, and indifference leading to intractable impasses characterize many of today's public debates, like climate change and human rights. Public Relations and Neoliberalism is about the role public relations language practices have had in forging this reality, and what the cultural impacts are for a fair and open democratic society. The part played by public relations in propagating the rise of neoliberalism has been oversimplified and underestimated. To redress this, the book maps its direct and enduring influence from the post-war period, through key stages in the late twentieth century, to the cultural and political conditions today.
Kristin Demetrious is an Associate Professor of Communication at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia. Kristin's research investigates power in public relations and its language practices through a number of social sites such as activism and gender using a socio-cultural lens to explore how it can create and control forms of identity and shape public debates that set policy directions.
