This book analyzes the methods, effects, and mechanisms by which
international relations reach the US citizen. Deftly dissecting the
interrelationships of national identity formation, corporate 'news
and opinion' dissemination, and the quasi-academic apparatus of war
justification - focusing on the Bush administration's exploitation
of the fear and insecurity caused by 9/11 and how this has
manifested itself in the US media (especially the tabloid populist
media). Debrix explains how all serve to defend and produce state
power and develops a model of tabloidized international relations,
where responses are both organized by, and supportive of, a strong
centralized US government. The field of International Relations
sorely needs such analytics, in so far as it explains how people in
their everyday lives relate to transnational issues.
Tabloid Terror critically covers a wide variety of US popular
culture from the Internet to Fox News; analyzes diverse authors as
Julia Kristeva, J.G. Ballard and Robert Kaplan and takes into
account renowned international relations interlocutors as Don Imus,
Bill O'Reilly, and Tommy Franks.
