Through a comparative and historical study, the author focuses on how the media environment enables and constrains rhetorical strategies deployed to construct, reproduce, and change narratives about a threat. Recent literature on threat inflation, securitization, and critical security studies returned to the concept of "threat." Building on this renewed conceptual attention, this book examines why and how policy makers and other public figures, in particular the President, convince the public about a threat and will be of interest to students and academics in the disciplines of political science, international relations, foreign policy, security studies and contemporary history. Adam Lusk is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Rosemont College, USA. He teaches courses in International Relations and Comparative Politics, as well as First Year Connections Seminar. His research interests include international security, threat perception, global environmental politics, and norms and ethics in International Relations"-- 0aRhetoricxPolitical aspectszUnited States. 0aMass media and international relationszUnited States. 0aPresidentszUnited StatesxLanguage. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsxPublic opinion. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy20th century. 0aPrint books.2local9408iOnline version:aLusk, Adam.tRhetoric, media, and the narratives of US foreign policydAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022z9780429351235w(DLC) 2021037451  2lcccBOOKS  c607871d607871  00102lcc4070aAUbAUcGENd2025-11-10l0oJZ1480.A5 L87 2022pAU00000000020914r2025-11-10 08:18:29v400.00w2025-11-10yBOOKS
