Strategic Communication, Manufacturing of Narratives and India–ASEAN Relations

Publisher: Pentagon Press

In a world where perception dictates power, the book Strategic Communication, Manufacturing of Narratives and India–ASEAN Relations uncovers the hidden architecture of influence shaping Southeast Asia. This critical study deconstructs how ASEAN media "re-presents" India, revealing a systemic "visibility without intimacy" that reduces a complex civilization to a mere geopolitical utility. By exposing the "information colonialism" of Western wire services and the calculated editorial logics of regional states, the work challenges the very foundations of contemporary diplomacy. It is an essential roadmap for understanding the battle for narrative autonomy in the Southeast Asia.
