Communicating in the Face of Global Crises explores the complex ways organizations and their strategic practices are communicatively constituted in relation to the ethical expectations of global publics.

Positioning organizational strategies as communicative accomplishments, an international team of authors redirect attention to the important role of communication in constituting responses to global crises and to the ways global crises are themselves contested and embedded in conflicting discourses about their nature and resolution. Bringing an important and much needed communicative orientation to the exploration of global crises, the book provides valuable guidance for understanding and addressing today’s most pressing issues facing our global communities.

This cohesive volume uniquely bridges the theoretical traditions of strategic communication and the communicative constitution of organization. It will interest researchers and postgraduate students exploring the intersection of organizational communication and global crises.
