Australia has long been a reliable ally of the United States. But has it become too reliable? Sixty-five years after the signing of the ANZUS treaty, and amid great strategic change caused by the rise of China, it is time for a fresh look at the AustralianAmerican alliance. In Fighting with America, historian James Curran argues that the current intensity in Canberra’s relations with Washington has led Americans and Australians to forget past disagreements between the two nations. As the alliance becomes more focused on Asia, Australian and American interests will sometimes coincide other times they may clash.

Mass media and society

This book succeeds "Mass Communication and Society". Written by a group of international scholars, this new volume reviews the many and far-reaching developments that have since taken place in mass communication research. Its three sections provide: an account of the role of the media in contemporary society, using liberal, postmodernism, feminist and neo-marxist perspectives; alternative views of the formative influences shaping the media, plus analyses of recent changes in the media industries and an exploration of the role of the media in the social production of meaning.

Mass Media and Society is an established title, popular worldwide for its insightful and accessible essays from leading international academics on the most pertinent issues in the media field today.The book is organized into three key areas of debate: media and society, media production and mediations. Each new edition of the book has sought to be a textbook that encompasses the field, including essays on political communication, media and feminism, media political economy, sociology of media organizations, media representations, media influence, Internet studies and more. New to this edition is an emphasis on film studies, an increasingly important area of media studies. What is judged to be the staple elements of the field has evolved over time, as well as becoming more international in orientation. Yet the overriding aim of the book - to be useful to students - has remained constant. This text is an essential resource for all media, communication and film studies students who want to broaden their knowledge and understanding of how the media operates and affects society across the globe. 'An original contribution to media studies. Beautifully organized, well written and incisive.' - Professor James Carey, Colombia University, USA 'Still the best collection of current thinking in the field.' - Professor Elihu Katz, Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
