This edited book is an innovative collection of studies exploring the various features of modern day political oratory in a number of Western and non-Western countries. It brings together a team of distinguished group of communication researchers, linguistics, and social & political psychologists to address issues related to the evolution of modern oratory in politics with a special attention paid to the way politicians’ arguments and rhetorical appeals have changed over time i.e., their shifting speaking style and frames when communicating with the masses. Each chapter in this volume examines the specific historical, social, and cultural forces that shaped and determined present-day oratory in a particular country over the past several decades. The chapters offer a global analysis of modern political rhetoric in societies from West to East, developing a framework to assess the role and effect of communication in contemporary politics. Scholars of communication, rhetoric, modern history, and political behavior will find this book of particular interest.
