"The most noteworthy aspect of this resource is its global scope.
...The level and depth of international expertise is displayed via
the perspectives and examples provided in each entry by the
authors.... [They] deftly lay out the historical context of
political communication in each area, while also discussing themes,
trends, and sources of controversy within the political
communications sphere before highlighting avenues for future
research directions within the area.
These global perspectives mesh with the interdisciplinary nature of
the work and its entries that meld psychology, critical media
studies, sociology, cultural studies, economics and political
science, among other disciplines. [The Encyclopedia] includes many
entries that are timely, unique and interdisciplinary.
...The contributors to this work always have their eye on the
future, without neglecting the past.... This resource's
international focus, interdisciplinary nature and currency stand
out among other related resources. ...This work would be a very
useful and excellent addition to any academic social sciences
reference collection that serves mid- to upper-level
undergraduates, graduate students or faculty/researchers." -
