INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

The article is a review of the literature dealing with research on international communications. Three major areas are dealt with: The structure and content of the flow of messages between nations; The distribution of specialized skills in receiving and reacting to messages among members of the society; The process whereby political images are created and distributed among members of the society. These three components of communicating are equated with interaction analyses, decision-making, and public opinion studies. In conclusions based upon a number of studies (135) it is suggested that a nation's future communications is a function of both its own momentum in dealing with a specific other nation, as well as its expectation of the response from other nations. It is also shown that communications seldom effect more than a small portion of the receiving nation.
