Title: The Principles and Practice of Crisis Management
Description: "This book focuses on the factors involved in the social mediation of risks, the social construction of reality, and attempts made by professionals to re-design how social reality appears. It looks at single-issue politics affecting the political agenda, the role of the mass media, as well as the way in which corporations respond in very sophisticated ways to threats to their political and ideological perspectives, and so advance their interests. The study also comments on how professional fields ate created, demonstrating the work that goes into proposing, sustaining and promoting particular areas of expertise."--Jacket.
