    Description

*A collection of case studies from nonwestern countries that offers an 
analysis of the significant role culture plays in crisis communication*

/Culture and Crisis Communication/ presents an examination of how 
politics, culture, religion, and other social issues affect crisis 
communication and management in nonwestern countries. From intense human 
tragedy to the follies of the rich, the chapters examine how companies, 
organizations, news outlets, health organizations, technical experts, 
politicians, and local communities communicate in crisis situations. 
Taking a wider view than a single country’s perspective, the text 
contains a cross-cultural and cross-country approach. In addition, the 
case studies offer valuable lessons that organizations that wish to 
operate or are operating in those cultures can adopt in preparing and 
managing crises.

The book highlights recent crisis events such as Syria’s civil war, 
missing Malaysia Flight MH370*, *andJapan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear 
power plant disaster. Each of the case studies examines how culture 
impacts communication and responses to crises.

Authoritative, insightful, and instructive, this important resource:

  * Analyzes how nonwestern cultures respond to crises
  * Covers the role of culture in crisis communication in recent news 
events
  * Includes contributions from 18 international authors who provide
    insight on nonwestern culture and crisis communication

Written for communication professionals, academics, and 
students,/Culture and Crisis Communication/ presents an insightful 
introduction to the topic of culture and crisis communication and then 
delves into illustrative case studies that explore intra-cultural and 
trans-boundary crisis communication.
