Annotation Hawkins reveals and explains the highly distorted and assimilated responses to foreign conflicts by major actors in the world. Many of the world's deadliest conflicts are largely ignored - becoming off-the-radar 'stealth conflicts'. How can this be possible in a world with unprecedented levels of access to information, and unprecedented levels of attention and resources being devoted to foreign affairs? This book addresses this issue, looking at the agenda-setting processes of policymakers, media, the public and academics in relation to foreign conflicts.It unravels the internal dynamics and external influences experienced by these actors in this regard, and it brings the academic agenda into the loop of the agenda-setting process for the first time. With agenda-setting research generally tending to focus on the question of why a response occurred to a particular event, this book furthers research by focusing equally on why a response did not occur. Critically important in understanding why actors do and do not respond to foreign conflict.
