Více o knize

Focusing on the intersection of media, politics, and warfare, this analysis explores how prominent social actors justify coercive power in the context of the 'war on terror.' It examines the interests of a trans-national elite from the post-9/11 era through the Iraq War, including shifts in the Obama administration's policies. The book is rich in transcripts and media sources, offering critical insights into the influential structures that shape contemporary perceptions of conflict, making it a valuable resource for media studies students.
