Communicators, Audiences, and Strategies: Past Experiences and Contemporary Perspectives

This book includes both well-known scholars and young researchers from prestigious European universities and their case studies express an international appeal by investigating subjects of great interest even today. The volume Communicators, Audiences, and Strategies: Past Experiences and Contemporary Perspectives represents a helpful instrument for both students and scholars across disciplines, such as political science, history, sociology and communication sciences. The seven case studies offer relevant examples on how communicators used different forms of political communication and propaganda throughout the late 19th and the 20th century in different societies and periods of time as various political, social and economic crisis emerged and produced significant outcomes in the long term.
