Call for Papers: Public relations, propaganda and terrorism

Public Relations Inquiry, launched in January 2012, is an international, peer-reviewed forum for conceptual, reflexive and critical discussion on public relations. The Journal aims to stimulate new research agendas in the field of public relations through inter-disciplinary engagement and will encompass a broad range of theoretical, empirical and methodological issues in public and organizational communications in diverse cultural contexts.

Public Relations Inquiry mobilizes research that speaks to a range of scholars in diverse fields and welcomes submissions from public relations, media, communications and cultural studies, anthropology, political communication, sociology, political science, strategic studies, law, organizational studies, management and marketing. Given that public relations as a practice arises at points of societal and organisational change and transformation we intend to encourage multi-disciplinary debate on public relations and public communication practices through foci on major human concerns such as migration, diversity, poverty, environmental issues. Public relations issues arise from a variety of contemporary issues and contexts and areas of debate in Public Relations Inquiry includes:

• globalisation, politics, and public relations in international communication
• terrorism, public diplomacy
• public and corporate governance
• diversity, migration and cultural impacts of PR
• the natural and built environments
• tourism
• health and food
• sport
• theatre, film, music, and the arts
• the history and politics of PR as a discipline

Public Relations Inquiry provides a unified space to facilitate reflection on such topics and others of global concern and local relevance.
