Media Evolution on the Eve of the Arab Spring

Abstract

From democratization to terrorism, economic development to conflict reso-lution, global political dynamics are affected by the increasing pervasiveness and influence of communication media. This series examines the partici-pants and their tools, their strategies and their impact. It offers a mix of comparative and tightly focused analyses that bridge the various elements of communication and political science included in the field of international studies. Particular emphasis is placed on topics related to the rapidly chang-ing communication environment that is being shaped by new technologies and new political realities. This is the evolving world of international politi-cal communication.
