About the book

Burcu Peksevgen

Themes in Issues, Risk and Crisis Communication:
A Multi-Dimensional Perspective

This anthology aims to give scholars, practitioners and students new insights from recent case studies and applied theory. Also, a vital goal of this anthology is to be a reminder of the importance of human and social perspectives. Several articles offer critique to the dominant organizational and systematic perspectives. A major concern highlighted in this book is the interdisciplinary approach that can be found in most of the articles. The best way to address the challenges comes from the multi-dimensional nature of communication which is also emphasized in the title of the book. This book contributes to the knowledge base of scholars, practitioners and the students of Issues, Risk and Crisis Management from every level.
