For courses in Introductory Public Relations. Cutlip & Center offers students the gold standard in public relations, providing the most up-to-date reference in the market. Title includes the names of Cutlip and Center in honor of their contribution to the field. Beginning with the first edition in 1952, Effective Public Relations (EPR) has introduced the theory and principles of public relations, schooled its practitioners, and served as a reference for those in the calling worldwide. Scott M. Cutlip and Allen H. Center created the book that made public relations education an academic area of study on university and college campuses, and gave the practice a foundation of knowledge and principles. Many of their ideas and ambitions in the early editions still serve as beacons leading public relations education and practice. Public relations education and professional practice now extend well beyond the limits of a single book or course, yet EPR remains the basic reference for the field worldwide. It is the book most frequently used by those preparing for accreditation exams, most frequently cited in public relations literature, most widely used worldwide in English, and most translated for study in China, Japan, Russia, Korea Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, and Latvia.

This book continues the groundbreaking work begun in Intercultural Public Relations: Theories for Managing Relationships and Conflicts with Strategic Publics (Routledge, 2018), by applying the theoretical framework of intercultural public relations to actual practice. Practical public relations contexts examined by the contributing chapter authors-both scholars and practitioners-include corporations, government, military, healthcare, education, and activism. The book covers real-world situations, including the training of practitioners to become more interculturally competent, identifying and understanding publics or stakeholders with different cultural backgrounds and identities, building and maintaining relationships with these publics/stakeholders, and managing conflicts with them. Offering practical guidance while examining both best practices and difficult challenges, this book is useful for public relations researchers, practitioners, and students as they explore how intercultural public relations contributes to organizational effectiveness and social change.

Intercultural Public Relations: Theories for Managing Relationships and Conflicts with Strategic Publics develops a coherent framework to unify the theories of public relations and intercultural communication, and, within the framework, examines empirical studies of intercultural interactions. This book follows an intercultural approach, which considers how individuals and entities with dissimilar cultural identities interact and negotiate to solve problems and reach mutually satisfying outcomes. This work provides a theory-driven, empirically supported framework that will inform and guide the research and practices of intercultural public relations. Furthermore, it provides numerous levels of analysis and incorporates the use and challenges of social media. The book examines theories and issues in three integrated processes: Identification of publics Relationship management Conflict resolution These areas represent the most critical functions that public relations contributes to organizational effectiveness: scanning the environment, identifying strategic publics, and building long-term, quality relationships with these publics to reduce costs, gain support, and empower the publics themselves. In doing so, the book adopts simultaneously public-centered and organization-centered perspectives. This unique work will serve as an essential reference for students, practitioners, and scholars in today's global public relations environment.
