A collection of essays from scholars around the globe examining the
ethical issues and problems associated with some of the major areas
within contemporary international communication: journalism, PR,
marketing communication, and political rhetoric.
This book is a telling analysis of the pre-war media debate around
the globe, which set the stage for the 2003 Iraq war. Arguably,
each country's media represented its opinions for or against the
war, giving the viewer insight into the nation's stance on the war
and its political reasoning. By concentrating on the pre-war
coverage, this group of scholars engages in a more open discussion
of the issues that would take place during wartime, and uncovers
the implications for each country's position on international
concerns.
International Negotiations combines three main elements: an
overview of theoretical perspectives on the process of
international negotiations; a set of case studies; and a new
approach toward the issue of how domestic politics affect the
process of isuch kind of talks. One of the most important sets of
variables affecting the outcome of international negotiations is
the domestic political situation. Often talks fail or succeed
mainly due to pressure from domestic groups. Nikolaev offers a new
- communication-oriented - model of the two-level-game theory,
which is highly effective in conceptualizing the problem of
domestic influence over international negotiations. The case
studies demonstrate how various theoretical approaches contribute
to a deeper understanding of the the outcomes of different
international talks and how vital the new model of the
two-level-game theory is to this understanding.

We've all seen the images from Abu Ghraib: stress positions, US
soldiers kneeling on the heads of prisoners, and dehumanizing
pyramids formed from black-hooded bodies. We have watched officials
elected to our highest offices defend enhanced interrogation in
terms of efficacy and justify drone strikes in terms of retribution
and deterrence. But the mainstream secular media rarely addresses
the morality of these choices, leaving us to ask individually: Is
this right? In this singular examination of the American discourse
over war and torture, Douglas V. Porpora, Alexander Nikolaev, Julia
Hagemann May, and Alexander Jenkins investigate the opinion pages
of American newspapers, television commentary, and online
discussion groups to offer the first empirical study of the
national conversation about the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the
revelations of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib a year later.
Post-Ethical Society is not just another shot fired in the ongoing
culture war between conservatives and liberals, but a pensive and
ethically engaged reflection of America's feelings about itself and
our actions as a nation. And while many writers and commentators
have opined about our moral place in the world, the vast amount of
empirical data amassed in Post-Ethical Society sets it apart - and
makes its findings that much more damning.
