INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION BEST BOOK AWARD'In today’s media-rich environment, projecting a narrative is at the heart of a nation’s foreign policy, particularly its public diplomacy. Many actors and institutions are involved in constructing these narratives, and Miskimmon, O’Loughlin, and Roselle present perceptive analysis of how this process works. Strategic Narratives is invaluable reading for those wanting to understand modern diplomacy.' —Philip Seib, University of Southern California 'This fascinating book is both theoretically and empirically rich. The authors demonstrate how strategic narratives are used to persuade and interpret, how they may be contested or formed as uncontested, and how they shape the interactions of diverse actors in the international environment. They illustrate these dynamics in relation to cases as diverse as the 'Rise of China' narrative in the U.S., the 'David and Goliath' narrative in Israel, and the anti-whaling narratives of activists in the 1960s. A must read for students and practitioners who want to understand public diplomacy in the media age.' - —K.M. Fierke, University of St. Andrews'Strategic Narratives breaks new ground in providing a systematic theoretical framework for understanding actors' use of strategic narrative to shape order in this "new world order." Their work also presents fruitful illustrative case studies on narratives, their construction, and use. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate, graduate, research, and professional collections.' —J.D.Gillespie, College of Charleston, CHOICE
