The U.S. governments have begun to focus on the national setting and to underestimate the international one; to favor unilateral policies over multilateral ones. The presidency of Donald Trump has expedited this process. American rejection of providing global public goods such as international security and fr...

Terör örgütleri yaptıkları saldırıların öncesi ve sonrasında medya aracılığıyla örgütün ismini duyurma, propaganda yapma ve saldırının medya aracılığıyla geniş kitlelere yayılmasını istemektedir. 1970’lerden bu yana Türkiye’nin mücadele ettiği etnik-ayrılıkçı bir terör örgütü olan PKK’nın medyatikleştirilmesi ve medyayı kullanma biçimleri üzerine çok fazla araştırma yoktur.
