Global Media and Strategic Narratives of Contested Democracy

Chinese, Russian, and Arabic Media Narratives of the US Presidential Election

By: Robert S. Hinck,Skye Cooley,Randolph Kluver

In order to better understand how the world viewed the US 2016 presidential election, the issues that mattered around the world, and how nations made sense of how their media systems constructed presentations of the presidential election, Robert S. Hinck, Skye C. Cooley, and Randolph Kluver examine global news narratives during the campaign and immediately afterwards. Analyzing 1,578 news stories from 62 sources within three regional media ecologies in China, Russia, and the Middle East, Hinck, Cooley, and Kluver demonstrate how the US election was incorporated into narrative constructions of the global order. They establish that the narratives told about the US election through national and regional media provide insights into how foreign nations construct US democracy, and reflect local understandings regarding the issues, and impacts, of US policy towards those nations. Avoiding jargon-laden prose, Global Media and Strategic Narratives of Contested Democracy is as accessible as it is wide-ranging. Its empirical detail will expand readers’ understanding of soft power as narrative articulations of foreign nation’s policies, values, and beliefs within localized media systems. Communication/media studies students, as well as political scientists whose studies includes media and global politics, will welcome its publication.

The Marsh Mouse Sorcerer and The Order of Ki-San

By: Skye Cooley

From the embers of collapsed human civilization, a decadent kingdom of sapient rabbits faces renewed threats of war from the religious fanatics of the feral North. Promising a return of the Goddess Easter in exchange for the life of an embodied prophesy, the High Priesthood of the Cult of the Egg calls for the sacrifice of one of the Queen’s sons. As conflict looms, the leader of an elite group of royal guards is sent to summon the mysterious mystic mouse at the edge of kingdom to the palace towers. What begins as simple mission to escort an emissary soon transforms into the defining moment of a generation as trails in trust, friendship, magic, and manipulation are laid bare before a warring kingdom. The technology of ancient Gods meets the foreign magic of a forgotten Hermetic Order in a fantasy adventure set on the edge of time that grapples with the powers of science and consciousness against the inspirations of spiritualism and sacrifice. “To fight the demons without, one must first conquer those within.” Initiation Rite, Order of Ki-San

Thirsty City

Politics, Greed, and the Making of Atlanta's Water Crisis

By: Skye Borden

Atlanta is running out of water and is in the midst of a water crisis. Its crumbling infrastructure spews toxic waste and raw sewage into neighboring streams. A tri-state water war between Alabama, Florida, and Georgia has been raging since 1990, with Atlanta caught in the middle; however, the city's problems have been more than a century in the making. In Thirsty City, Skye Borden tells the complete story of how Atlanta's water ran dry. Using detailed historical research, legal analysis, and personal accounts, she explores the evolution of Atlanta's water system as well as charts the poor urban planning decisions that led to the city's current woes. She also uncovers the loopholes in local, state, and federal environmental laws that have enabled urban planners to shirk responsibility for ongoing water quantity and quality problems. From the city's unfortunate location to its present-day debacle, Thirsty City is a fascinating and highly readable account that reveals how Atlanta's quest for water is riddled with shortsighted decisions, unchecked greed, political corruption, and racial animus.

1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Thirty-Six

By: Carly Phillips,Rebecca Zanetti,Rachel Van Dyken,Darynda Jones,Skye Warren

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Carly Phillips, Rebecca Zanetti, Rachel Van Dyken, Darynda Jones, and Skye Warren... Five Dark Tales. Five Sensual Stories. Five Page Turners. Dare to Tease by Carly Phillips Brianne Prescott, publicist for Dare Nation Sports Agency, grew up the only girl with four brothers, three of whom are sports royalty. She’s a pro not just at work but at being used by men who want access to her famous family. She’s learned the hard way that everyone wants something from her, always. When Dr. Hudson Northfield rescues Bri from a homeless man outside the clinic where he works, he really notices her for the first time. Soon she’s accompanying him to New York for a family wedding, and despite her siblings’ overprotective protests, they’re falling in love. Vampire by Rebecca Zanetti Dr. Mariana Lopez has finally stopped bailing friends out of difficult situations. Well, except for substituting as the leader for another anger management group, pitching in as a campaign strategist for a prospective sheriff, and babysitting three dogs. Even with such a full life, she can feel the danger around her—a sense that something isn’t right. Nightmares harass her, until the real thing comes to life, and only the dark and sexy male sitting in her group can save her. Mafia King by Rachel Van Dyken One of the first rules they give you when you're undercover—never fall for the enemy. I didn't just fall for the enemy. I became what I was supposed to hate. What's worse: I fell in love with one. I live a double life, and both sides know it's only a matter of time before I'm forced to choose. Rebirth through mafia blood. Or death at the hands of the very government I swore to protect. The Gravedigger's Son by Darynda Jones The job should have been easy. Get in. Assess the situation. Get out. But for veteran tracker Quentin Rutherford, things get sticky when the girl he’s loved since puberty shows up, conducting her own investigation into the strange occurrences of the small, New Mexico town. He knew it would be a risk coming back to the area, but he had no idea Amber Kowalski had become a bona fide PI, investigating things that go bump in the night. He shouldn’t be surprised, however. She can see through the dead as clearly as he can. The real question is, can she see through him? Finale by Skye Warren Francisco Castille, the exiled Duke of Linares, knows his duty. Even in modern times, the line must continue. So he'll marry and produce an heir. Yes, a wife will fit into his well-ordered life. Instead he ends up with the brilliant pianist Isabella. Strong. Spirited. And highly disobedient. She rebels against every custom and every rule, threatening his careful balance. Francisco never backs away from a challenge. Isabella never bows down to anyone. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

The Future of Global Competition

Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese, Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan Media

By: Robert Hinck,Asya Cooley,Skye C. Cooley,Sara Kitsch

With today’s social and geopolitical order in significant flux this project offers vital insight into the future global order by comparatively charting national media perceptions regarding the future of global competition, through the lens of Ontological Security (OS). The authors employ a mixed-method approach to analyze 620 news articles from 47 Russian, Chinese, Venezuelan, and Iranian news sources over a five-year period (2014-2019), quantitatively comparing the drivers of their visions while providing in-depth qualitative case studies for each nation. Not only do these narratives reveal how these four nations understand the current global order, but also point to their (in)flexibility and agentic capacity for reflection in adapting, even shaping the future order, and their identity-roles within it, around an economic and diplomatic battleground. The authors argue these narratives create trajectories with inertial effects grounded in their OS needs, providing enduring insights into their behavior and interests moving into the future. The Future of Global Coopetition will help readers understand how influential nations typical aligned in opposition to the US, envision the drivers of global competition and the make-up of the future international system. Those engaged in the study of media, global politics, international relations, and communication will find this book to be a critical source.
