New Frontiers in International Communication Theory Summary

New Frontiers in International Communication Theory by Mehdi Semati

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.

New Frontiers in International Communication Theory Reviews

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! -- Cees J. Hamelink, University of Amsterdam
New Frontiers in International Communication Theory undertakes a major reassessment of the field. It moves beyond the dualism of political economy and cultural studies, expanding the application of postmodern, poststructuralist, and postcolonial perspectives to an impressively global range of themes, issues, and debates, with contributions from both well-established names and rising stars. -- Oliver Boyd-Barrett, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
