Crucial to this communication strategy have been networked spectacles: elaborate mass event, designed to reconfigure organisations, ideas, and the relations between people. In 'Staging China', Florian Schneider analyses large-scale projects like the Beijing Olympics and Shanghai Expo to show how such spectacles became part of the ruling party's governance toolkit under Hu Jintao's leadership, and how their legacy informs politics and political communication in China to this day.Propagandafast(OCoLC)fst01078957CommunicationPolitical aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00869984PropagandaChinaCommunicationPolitical aspectsChinaSpectacular, ThePolitical aspectsChinaChinafastElectronic books.
