Publisher Synopsis
International approval is one of the basic conditions for the success of political action. The language and the communication analysis employed during the Bush and Obama presidencies collected in this volume provide with great rigor and clarity the European point of view. In particular, the specific reference to the Spanish, Portuguese, and above all Islamic perceptions amplifies the positive interest towards this book. -- Maurizio Vernassa, Univerity of Pisa Read more...
