Political Communication and Social Theory

Political Communication and Social Theory
comparative political and media systems
theories of democracy, representation and the public sphere
political party communication, marketing and elections
the production of news media and public policy
media sociology and journalist-source relations
celebrity politics, popular culture and political leadership
new media and online democracy
national-global politics and international political communication
foreign policy-making, war and media
the crisis of public communication in established democracies.
At the same time, Political Communication and Social Theory also offers a fascinating investigation of the causes of crisis in established political and media systems. In today's democracies, trust in politicians, state institutions and mainstream media sources has dropped to new lows. The traditional business model that sustained journalism is failing and nations are struggling to respond to the existing global recession and impending environmental and resource crises. Drawing on interviews with over 100 experienced politicians, journalists and civil servants, Aeron Davis explores how the varied political actors and communicative processes, at the centre of UK democracy, may or may not be contributing to such crisis tendencies.
