Cross-sectional studies on communication have been widely conducted by researchers from various fields. Besides the pros, contras also downplay our propositions. Hence, the essence of communication in various fields should meet in-depth understanding.

It is expected that this book can provide insightful perspectives for its readers.

Implementasi kebijakan dan program pembangunan di negara berkembang menjadi bidang penelitian menarik sejak topik tersebut diangkat sebagai bagian inti dari strategi internasional untuk perbaikan administrasi publik pada dekade terakhir. Strategi perbaikan administrasi publik pada dekade sebelumnya berfokus pada kinerja output, seperti pernyataan visi, strategi, rencana aksi, kerangka kerja dan program serta prosedur-prosedur baru (Easterly, 2002:20; Wescott, 2004:85; Gulrajani, 2011:199).
Setiap negara berusaha menghubungkan kulinernya dengan identitas nasional masing-masing, tak terkecuali Indonesia. Namun, berbeda dengan negara lainnya, Indonesia memiliki nilai lebih atau 'bonus' karena keberagaman suku yang menyebar ke seluruh penjuru negeri, secara otomatis melahirkan budaya yang beragam pula, termasuk kuliner sebagai salah satu elemennya. Dengan kekayaan kulinernya tersebut, Indonesia sangat mampu dalam hal gastrodiplomasi, yakni menjadikan kuliner sebagai sarana untuk mengenalkan budaya suatu negara ke dunia internasional. Bahkan, perjalanan gastrodiplomasi Indonesia sejatinya telah bermula sejak era kepemimpinan Presiden Soekarno, dan terus mengalami peningkatan yang s...
Istilah “padat modal” digunakan dalam sektor bisnis untuk menunjukkan sebuah usaha yang membutuhkan modal sangat besar baik untuk pengembangan bisnis dan aktivitas operasionalnya serta didukung oleh teknologi terbarukan. Demikian pula cara kerja partai politik dalam pemilu di Indonesia. Sejak sistem pemilu liberal diadopsi Indonesia pada 2009, partai-partai politik memiliki keseragaman dalam melakukan strategi kampanye. Hal ini terlihat pada strategi distribusi dan promosi yang dilakukan. Meskipun ada perbedaan di antara partai politik terutama pada aspek karakteristik personal, harga psikologis, dan dampak citra, perbedaan tersebut tertutup dengan besarnya kuasa padat modal yang berlaku...

Capital cities that are not the dominant economic centers of their nations – so-called ‘secondary capital cities’ (SCCs) – tend to be overlooked in the fields of economic geography and political science. Yet, capital cities play an important role in shaping the political, economic, social and cultural identity of a nation. As the seat of power and decision-making, capital cities represent a nation’s identity not only through their symbolic architecture but also through their economies and through the ways in which they position themselves in national urban networks. The Political Economy of Capital Cities aims to address this gap by presenting the dynamics that influence policy and...

This book demonstrates the progress that has been made on political branding research across international contexts. It focuses on the critical application of new concepts and frameworks, generating a deeper understanding of unexplored settings and positioning research from multiple perspectives.

Given that there are many potential typologies and non-traditional political brands, this volume investigates different...
