Strategic Communication, Corporatism, and Eternal Crisis

The book explores the origins and lasting impact of militarised communication, starting with the Committee on Public Information in 1917, which aimed to unify public opinion for World War I. It posits that the CPI laid the groundwork for a new political economy characterized by corporatism, influencing communication strategies and public attitudes that persist today. The analysis extends to the emergence of globalisation in the mid-1990s, illustrating how historical communication practices continue to shape contemporary political and economic landscapes.
