Center on Public Diplomacy director Philip Seib wrote a new article titled Public Diplomacy versus Terrorism. The article appeared in the January edition of Media and Terrorism: Global Perspectives (London: Sage, 2012), edited by Des Freedman and Daya Kishan Thussu. Review for Media and Terrorism from the publisher's site: "Acts of political violence, including terroristic violence, come in different forms, in different parts of the world and perpetrated by different sorts of actors (states, military, insurgents, individuals) who can be motivated by different interests and identities. In today's media environment, the relation between terrorism and media is often no less complex or politically consequential. Historically momentous and deadly as the so-called 'global war on terror' has proved to be, it does not exhaust the complexities of media and terror or their interactions around the world. Media and Terrorism: Global Perspectives intelligently and incisively broadens the discussion, situating it within contexts of global inequality and geopolitical interests, contemporary media environments and strategic and symbolic politics." -- Simon Cottle, Professor of Media and Communications at Cardiff University Philip Seib  January edition of Media and Terrorism
