It will also explore the cultural and developmental communication initiatives and the critical paradigms that should be employed when dealing with interpersonal, group, and mass communication interactions between developed and developing nations. The course will also examine how international relations (diplomacy) are impacted from a global communication standpoint. The course will establish a credible theoretical framework that underpins intercultural and international communication dynamics in the 21st century.
