Beschreibung:
Walter C. Soderlund is a professor emeritus in the Department of Political Science at the University of Windsor. His books include Africa's Deadliest Conflict, The Independence of South Sudan, and The Responsibility to Protect in Darfur.
Mass media coverage has been identified as an important factor in mobilizing the international community into action in crisis and potential crisis situations; however, the impact of media reporting on actual decision-making is unclear. Thirty-plus years of research has demonstrated consistent agenda-setting effects, while a more recent stream of research has confirmed significant framing effects, the latter most likely to occur in cases where advocacy framing is used. This book examines the way in which the press in Canada and the United States interpreted the potential for violence that accompanied South Sudan's independence in 2011, and whether or not their governments had a responsibility to prevent.
