The Terrorism Spectacle

By Steven Livingston

Book Overview

How terrorism is portrayed by the news media, and thus perceived by the public, is directly linked to government's foreign policy goals. Steven Livingston demonstrates the complex interactions among the press, the public, and political actors in illuminating a policymaking process that relies on image management as one strategy in achieving policy objectives-not just in combating terrorism but also in handling other foreign policy problems.
