"International Organizations and the Media in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries is the first volume to systematically explore the historical relationship between international organizations and the media. Bringing together two burgeoning yet largely unconnected strands of research - the history of international organizations and international media histories - this book is essential reading for scholars of international history and those interested in the development and impact of media over time"-- Provided by publisher.
