[Commlist] New book: Strategic Communication in a Global Crisis

*Strategic Communication in a Global Crisis – New Book *

A new edited book exploring the role and value of communication during 
global crises has been published by Routledge, /Strategic Communication 
in a Global Crisis: National and International Responses to the Covid-19 
Pandemic/, and brings together empirical research findings about the 
COVID-19 pandemic from around the world.

/Strategic Communication in a Global Crisis/**captures international 
experiences and observations of strategic communication during one of 
the most impactful health crises of the modern era. The book makes a 
unique and timely contribution by exploring in depth the topic of 
strategic communication and the COVID pandemic from a global 
perspective. This book debates rich empirical evidence gained through a 
transnational team of senior researchers representing Europe, North 
America, South America, Asia and Africa, making it one of the largest 
studies conducted in the field on the topic of strategic communication 
and COVID. By emphasizing the diverse voices and communication 
strategies used by each investigated country, the book provides a 
current and compelling picture of global practice on strategic 
communication during and beyond the pandemic.

Edited by Professor Ralph Tench from Leeds Beckett University, UK, Dr 
Juan Meng from the University of Georgia, USA and Professor Angeles 
Moreno, Rey Juan Carlos University, Spain with contributions from senior
