Foreign Policy in Global Information Space - by A Chong (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This book examines how foreign policy can adapt to the challenge of globalization. Two central questions are posed: how can foreign policy defend or project statist political communities using soft power within a global information space? Does soft power affect foreign policy by undermining statist community within the same global information space?

Review Quotes

'An important and original work both in terms of focus and theoretical framework and particularly in terms of the case studies chosen to establish a relevant testing empirical domain.
