New books

  • Brave new interfaces : individual, social and economic impact of the next generation interfaces - Jan Cornelis & Marleen Wynants (eds.)
    ISBN/ISSN: 9054874163
    Compiled by the CROSSTALKS program for policy-probing scientific issues, this volume reflects on the meaning and impact of existing and future interfaces—and what the added value could be. Offering a broad analysis of the individual, social, and economic impacts that the next generation of interfaces will have, its unique interdisciplinary approach combines the perspectives of artists, academics, and businesspeople.
  • Emotional governance : politics, media and terror - Barry Richards
    ISBN/ISSN: 0230008399
    This lucid and original work argues for a new style of political leadership, one which pays deliberate and sophisticated attention to the emotional dynamics of the public. In exploring this basic idea of 'emotional governance', Barry Richards also examines the often unhelpful contributions of the news media to the 'emotional public sphere'. A case study of terrorism, as a highly emotional topic and as a key political issue in many liberal democracies, grounds the book's ideas in today's political landscape.
  • The African press, civic cynicism, and democracy - Minabere Ibelema
    ISBN/ISSN: 1403982015
    Winner of the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi Award in Research, this book explores the thesis that civic cynicism in African countries is a major obstacle to the consolidation of democracy, and that the African press should address the problem not just among leaders, but also among the general populace. Finding that corruption has extended from leaders and governmental institutions to the populace itself, the author asserts that the growing independent press needs to intensify its critique of the public attitude and civic orientation, the fertile soil on which corruption in public life has thrived.

Featured title

  • Global communication and transnational public spheres - Angela M. Crack
    ISBN/ISSN: 1403975213
    Information and communication technologies (ICT) enable citizens to communicate across state borders with greater ease than ever before, exciting much speculation about the emergence of transnational public spheres. This highly original work introduces this debate to International Relations, by investigating the socio-political implications of ICT in a global governance framework. Classic Habermasian theory is radically reconstructed to take account of contemporary trends in state sovereignty and global civil society. It is argued that if access is not widened and free speech not sufficiently protected, the early promise of ICT as a liberating force will be neutralized.
