Global Lies? Propaganda, the UN and World Order

Mark D. Alleyne explains why the UN has run a propaganda program, why it has been defensive about it, and the role that project plays in international relations. Through the use of critical theory, the book makes a fascinating connection between a range of seemingly unconnected international phenomena, such as the Olympic Games, the celebration of Human Rights Day, UN peacekeeping, Hollywood movies, the campaign to free Nelson Mandela, and soccer's World Cup. Alleyne's incisive analysis is the needed tool for understanding how modern international relations is as much about the manipulation of symbols and ideas as about war.Alleyne, Mark D. is the author of 'Global Lies? Propaganda, the UN and World Order', published 2003 under ISBN 9781403921000 and ISBN 1403921008.
