Abstract
Government communication is a curiously neglected area of discursive analysis. No considered examination of the subject exists which provides either an account of the contemporary governmental landscape or an explanation of the common and divergent themes on both a domestic and international basis. This volume would aim to fill that gap, providing a concise and illuminating case study based review of government communication.
It will be divided into three sections to reflect differences in both geography and political allegiances, scrutinising continental Europe, Anglo-American traditions and newly emerging democracies. Offering a global and thematic account, it will be an indispensable resource for all students of political communication.
