Syria, Press Framing, and the Responsibility to Protect - Paperback

by E. Donald Briggs (Author), Walter C. Soderlund (Author), Tom Pierre Najem (Author)

The Syrian Civil War has created the worst humanitarian disaster since the end of WWII. Early calls for R2P inspired humanitarian intervention went unheeded. This book examines the role of influential media in the West in framing the conflict, including their role in promoting, or on the contrary, discouraging a robust international intervention.
