Global Media and Strategic Narratives of Contested Democracy: Chinese, Russian, and Arabic Media Narratives of the US Presidential Election
Global Media and Strategic Narratives of Contested Democracy: Chinese, Russian, and Arabic Media Narratives of the US Presidential Election
In order to better understand how the world viewed the US 2016 presidential election, the issues that mattered around the world, and how nations made sense of how their media systems constructed presentations of the presidential election, Robert S. Hinck, Skye C. Cooley, and Randolph Kluver examine global news narratives during the campaign and immediately afterwards. Analyzing 1,578 news stories from 62 sources within three regional media ecolog…
Global Media and Strategic Narratives of Contested Democracy: Chinese, Russian, and Arabic Media Narratives of the US Presidential Election
Russia re-envisions the world: Strategic narratives in Russian broadcast and news media during 2015
This study examines the strategic narratives embedded in Russia broadcast and news media to determine how the country advances a narrative framework portraying the Kremlin’s world view as propagated through Russian media. We argue these narratives help construct Russian identity in building domestic cohesion while fending off criticisms by Western nations. The study furthers our theoretical understanding of public diplomacy and global narratives …
Contesting Strategic Narratives in a Global Context: The World Watches the 2016 U.S. Election
National media narratives often embody “strategic narratives” that embody national consensus on geopolitics. The 2016 U.S. presidential election was an event of intense international interest, both for its internal drama, but also for the policy positions of both of the major candidates. This paper presents a comparative analysis of how media in four key regions covered the U.S. presidential election and its immediate aftermath. Researchers utili…
Singapore: Negotiating State and Society, 1965-2015. Edited by Jason Lim and Terence Lee
This book of essays, commissioned in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Singapore as an independent nation, is not a paean to the virtues of the nation, the government, or the People’s Action Party (PAP), but instead, is an attempt to uncover different narratives of Singapore than the one sanctioned by the PAP. The essays do not intend to undermine the achievements of the government (which since the early 1960s are essen…
How media outlets from around the world are reacting to the presidential campaign
Uniting Political Bloggers in Diversity: Collective Identity and Web Activism
In contrast to the common view of blogging as a highly narcissistic activity, this study explicates how blogging is a communal activity and the emergence of a collective identity which drives collective action. 41 interviews with activist and nonactivist bloggers revealed that shared consciousness, distinctive blogging practices, and the articulation of a common adversary contribute to the development of a collective identity. Furthermore, identi…
Rhetorical Trajectories of Tiananmen Square
In April and May of 1989, the protest movement that began in Tiananmen Square, in the center of Beijing, became one of the most dramatic and defining episodes in the presidential administration of George H. W. Bush. Global media covered the events daily, feeding images around the globe of students engaged in a standoff with police and military units. While the movement began as mourning for the death of the reformer Hu Yaobang, the drama quickly …

Technological Modernization, the Internet, and Religion in Singapore
This study critically examines the ways in which technological modernization and religion co-exist and mutually reinforce one another within the Singaporean context. Interviews with religious leaders of a diverse set of faiths in Singapore about how they understand the role of information technology in religious practice reveal a broad-based acceptance of the Internet and other information technologies and little sense of a danger to religious fa…
A Review of: “ Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia , by Garry Rodan”
The Internet in nine Asian nations
In recent years, a number of analysts have argued that the Internet demonstrates an inexorable pull towards democratization of public life. The overwhelming majority of analysis conducted to understand the democratic potential of the Internet has taken place in Western Europe and North America, where democratic traditions are firmly established, and there is widespread acceptance of the liberal democratic norms arising from three hundred years of…
The Internet in China: A Meta-Review of Research
To understand the ultimate status of Internet studies, it is necessary to observe from both a holistic and a particularistic perspective. This article examines one small area of research, the Internet in China, to use that case study as a lens with which to discern the development of Internet studies. By comparing this micro view of the parameters, agendas, and research foci of Chinese Internet research to the larger body of Internet research, it…
The Architecture of Control: A Chinese Strategy for e-Governance
The rapid development of the Peoples' Republic of China has put increasing strains on an overwhelmed administrative and bureaucratic structure that was already hobbled by persistent inefficiency and corruption. In addition to anti-corruption and professionalization campaigns, the government has devised a system of e-governance with the goal of adding stability and order to a chaotic governing process. This includes re-establishing the control of …
The Web and the 2004 EP election: Comparing political actor Web sites in 11 EU Member States
This study reports on incorporation of the Web during the 2004 European Parliament election as played out in 11 EU Member States. Based on an analysis of Web site features related to a conceptualization of political engagement, the study examines utilization of features reflecting information provision and opportunities for discussion and political action. The findings reflect the low level of importance historically ascribed to European Parliame…
US and Chinese Policy Expectations of the Internet
Since embarking upon the processes of modernization and globalization in the late 1970s, China's policy toward technology has been geared toward building the nation's economic and political strength, and ultimately reinforcing and proving China's superiority as a socialist nation. Ironically, US policy toward China has promoted technology transfer and technological transformation based upon a deep-seated mythology of technology, which assumes tha…
Political Hyperlinking in South Korea: Technical Indicators of Ideology and Content
As the Internet has become a more important source of information for citizens and consumers, politicians in a number of nations have employed the Web as a tool to facilitate contact with constituents and supporters. One of the least understood phenomena in the new ecology of political communication, however, is the use of hyperlinks to build public recognition, to demarcate ideological spaces and to reflect political alliances. The purpose of th…
Political Culture and Information Technology in the 2001 Singapore General Election
Within the political configuration of advanced Western democracies, analysts agree that technology is a significant empowering force for organization and mobilization of political parties. However, it is clear that information technology is deployed and employed within a larger political culture, and therefore it is reasonable to expect that political culture has a mediating effect on the role of information technology and political practice. Thi…
Patriotism and the Limits of Globalization: Renegotiating Citizenship in Singapore
Singapore, as one of the world's most globalized nations, has undergone a series of tumultuous political and economic crises that has forced the nation's leaders to adopt a very proactive stance to the formation of national identity. To create an imagined nation that would secure economic growth and harmonious ethnic ties, the leaders of the nation chose to define Singapore as a global city, which has had a long-term effect of lessening citizen l…
The Logic of New Media in International Affairs
Proponents of new technologies argue that new media forms could have a dramatic impact on the way in which citizens gain political information, including important information regarding international affairs. This article argues that foreign policy is constrained by public opinion, which is in turn affected by media portrayals of other nations. Moreover, the impact of a particular media form is mediated by the `logics' of the format. The article …
Comic Effects: Postcolonial Political Mythologies in The World of Lily Wong
The World of Lily Wong, a long-running comic strip in Hong Kong, documented the final 100 days of British colonial rule leading up to the transition to Chinese sovereignty. For an anxious audience, the strip defined the nature of Hong Kong's transition by simplifying a highly complex event, relying heavily on mythical images of communists, capitalists, and bureaucrats to portray the transition to Chinese sovereignty as the end of the world of Lil…
