Strategic Public Diplomacy and American Foreign Policy: The Evolution of Influence
ISBN: 9780195087383 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

To answer these questions, Robert M. Entman develops a powerful new model of how media framing works-a model that allows him to... To succeed in foreign policy, U.S. presidents have to sell their versions or framings of political events to the news media and to the public. But sin...

Koizumi Diplomacy : Japan's Kantei Approach to Foreign and Defense Affairs
ISBN: 9780295986999 / Angielski / Miękka / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Japan's policymaking strategy in foreign and defense affairs changed dramatically in 2001 after Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi took the helm of the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Following a series of bland and short-lived prime ministers, Koizumi's infusion of fresh energy into a tired and opaque party has been compared with Tony Blair's successful revamping of New Labour in the U.K. Koizumi, however, had a weak power base in the party and limited diplomatic experience. How, then, was he able to exercise leadership? Tomohito Shinoda analyzes the prime minister's role in...
