This is a unique textbook on Public Relations in Asia which uses a unified framework of specific variables (culture, political system, level of economic development, level of activism, and nature of media) in discussing the nature of public relations in ten Asian countries. In addition, public relations practice is contextualized through a discussion of the relationship between socio-economic variables and public relations strategies and techniques in each country. This is a useful guide to students majoring in public relations at departments of communication, journalism and mass communication, and also, to the increasing number of communication professionals who are required to operate in the Asian market.
