政治与战略沟通

Students will learn how states and their governments communicate in
international politics and how they shape long term strategies in a
range of fields from military to diplomatic to aid and development. This
includes preparing for conflict between states or with insurgent
groups, communicating a path during hostilities, and transitioning
through post-conflict situations. It further analyses how states use
diplomacy, culture and economics to manage the peace and avoid conflict
and engage in treaty and trade negotiations. Students will also
encounter crisis communications: how to shape strategic responses to
natural disasters, terror attacks, and military invasions. To appreciate
this complex field from multiple perspectives, students will further
discover how insurgent and revolutionary movements think about and put
into practice their communications strategies with populations and
states.

These themes will be taught through a set of challenges that represent
some of the most significant that strategic communicators will face in
the coming decade. We aim to prepare them with suitable  skills.

Along with subject matter expertise, students will develop transferable
analytical, research, and practical skills in a dynamic and rigorous,
intellectual environment.

The course is associated with the King’s Centre for Strategic
Communications (KCSC) - a global network of government agencies, media
and marketing companies, and alumni.
