Course Description
The course covers international communication from three perspectives: its governance, its many-dimensional relationship with governments, and policy issues.

The course provides the foundations of this field with a structural approach. Topics covered include freedom of speech, global media and international journalism, public diplomacy, propaganda, media in democracies and totalitarian states, media influence on foreign policy, digital divide, intellectual property, privacy, convergence, security, media and political conflict and economic development.
