Le Canada est un Etat ayant tin intérêt marqué pour les communications. Pour les politologues, les études dans le champ de la communication et de la politique sont potentiellement plus fécondes et certainement plus importantes que jamais. C'est un champ dans lequel savoir et citoyenneté s'entremêlent car il soulève d'importantes questions sur la nature du fédéralisme canadien et, à un niveau plus fondamental, sur le développement futur de la démocratie au Canada.Tout au long de l'histoire du Canada, le centre a contrôlé le développement des communications ce qui, bien évidemment, a eu d'importants effets sur le caractère de la politique fédérate et provinciale. La notion de ce qu'est le Canada fut définie par le centre et en fonction des perceptions de l'élite du Canada central. Les développements récents dans la technologie des communications permettent au pouvoir central d'accroître son contrôle sur la sélection et la dissémination de l'information. Sans line profonde compréhension de l'impact des communications sur notre politie, nous ne serons pas en mesure de nous assurer du maintien des buts démocratiqiies de cette politie.

The dynamics of organisational communication play a role in any organisation. In-between organisational communication are power and politics. This paper used the qualitative method to ascertain the place of power and politics in organisations in Nigeria. Through the systematic thinking theory which was used as theoretical framework the study discovered that paying workers creating a conducive work-environment and capacity building are crucial to enhancing a good organisational communication. While acknowledging the role of unionism in fighting for workers welfare the paper established that power and politics are game-changers in any work-environment.

Drawing on published works as well as personal correspondence, this book sheds new light on Guy Debord's work on the spectacle, arguing that he offers a politics of communication that relies on the ironic language of contradiction, of critical theory, and of the incommunicable to undermine the hierarchical language of the spectacle.

While previous communication and media research has largely focused on either studying privacy as personal boundary management or made efforts to investigate the structural (legal or economic) condition of privacy, we observe an emergent body of research on the political underpinnings of privacy linking both aspects. A pronounced understanding of the politics of privacy is however lacking. In this contribution, we set out to push this forward by mapping four communication and media perspectives on the political implications of privacy. In order to do so, we recur on Barry's (2002) distinction of the political and the politics and outline linkages between individual and structural dimensions of privacy. Finally, we argue that the media practice perspective is well suited to offer an analytical tool for the study of the multiple aspects of privacy in a political context.

This scientific report overviews the most important results and achievements of the scientific research fulfilled by the political scientists group of the VMU cluster "European public space: politics, communication, discourse" in 2012. Within the analyzed period of time 3 important scientific groups' projects were implemented and two of them were devoted to the analysis of Lithuania's national identity construction and the influencing factors. The genesis of 9 selected political initiatives (non-electoral campaigns) of 2006-2011 in Lithuania were also examined by making media monitoring in 5 main Lithuania's internet media portals. Furthermore, in 2012 four scientific dissertations were finalized and successfully defended. Therefore the scientific group of political science researchers of the cluster made an amount and enriching research and published over 15 scientific articles in 2012.
