Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book challenges the idea that processes of globalization are leading to an increasing homogenization of news on a worldwide scale by focusing on two defining crises of our time - 9/11 and the War in Afghanistan.
