"This chapter offers a critical introduction to research on the importance of communication processes in war and international politics. The chapter starts by outlining key theoretical political science perspectives (i.e., realism, liberalism and critical) and how these relate to questions of political communication. The remainder of the chapter sets out key debates and arguments that have dominated research on media and conflict. This is done in three stages: the first explores the elite-driven orthodoxy that has traditionally informed the understanding of war-time media-state relations; the second explores neo-pluralist accounts of media-state relations; and the third maps out contemporary debates about the new information environment, the 'war on terror' and state-led "perception management" strategies. The chapter concludes with a discussion of important issues confronting political communication scholarship on media and war. Among other things, the chapter calls for a clear normative discussion about how journalists should cover war." (publisher's description)
