But PR remains seen only as the defender of corporate and capitalist interests, and therefore resistant to outside voices such as activists, NGOs, union members, protesters and whistle-blowers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on contributions from around the world to examine the concepts and practice of \"activist,\" \"protest\" and \"dissent\" public relations, this book challenges this view. Using a range of international examples, it explores the changing nature of protest and its relationship with PR and provides a radical analysis of the communication strategies and tactics of social movements and activist groups and their campaigns. This thought-provoking collection will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of public relations, strategic communication, political science, politics, journalism, marketing, and advertising, and also to PR professionals in think tanks and NGOs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Adi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815386990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815386995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ana Adi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112973611263,"sku":"9780815386995","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_918e0c01-1b22-458d-8050-822c952b3aae.jpg?v=1769612202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protest-public-relations-ana-adi-9780815386995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
