For example, in the March 2004 train bombing in Madrid, terrorists used mobile phones to detonate the bombs, but those same phones were used for text messages and e-mails that raced around Spain, urging support for the popular ruling socialist party to help alleviate the crisis (Hiebert 2005). Cellphones may have tipped the scales in that election (Hiebert 2005).…”

This book bears witness to the fact that the infant, while still striving for maturity, has at least reached early adolescence.The book is at least the fourth -all published since 1996 -that seeks to define and explain public relations worldwide. The first two were written by and for scholars and research-oriented graduate students. The authors and editors sought to describe the practice in varied nations and regions. Also, they tried to articulate the cultural, political, social and economic forces that have shaped it in ways that might later be disseminated more widely Srisamesh and Vergig 2003).This volume defines public relations practice in a readable way for a larger audience -graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and practitioners gearing up to work in and with societies other than their own.

They present a balanced, comprehensive look at the scholarly literature that helps shape international public relations in...
