Only tribes held together by group feeling can live in the desert.
It was Ibn Khaldun, the great Islamic scholar and social philosopher, who
centuries ago stressed that the individual human being cannot secure all the
things necessary for his livelihood without cooperation with someone else.
Thus, in his theory of social organization and in his discussion of cultural
identity and intercultural relations, he pointed out that "proper order
among men cooperating in such organization" as world society "can exist
only when they are governed by justice in the form of restraining influence
that keeps them from devouring each other.'"
The center of Ibn Khaldun's world was man. His own monumental work
was a "modest" contribution to the unfinished, and perhaps unfinishable,
search to understand human society. Later developments and assumptions,
however, colored the vocabulary of texts as well as methods of inter
national and intercultural studies. An emergent field of knowledge in
modem history is the study of "international relations." Three decades or
so ago it was generally a peripheral subject because it was, in essence,
descriptive of diplomatic history. In the last few decades it has become

were developed to test or reject some aspects of the realist approach, and to
bring about scientific understanding of international relations. The empha
sis was on the "is" and not on the "ought." The behavioral movement of
the 1 950s and 1 960s was largely responsible for generating a good number
of models and data in the form of events analysis, interaction and
information flow, decision-making analysis, game theory and deterrence
strategy, and the linkage of domestic policy to international politics.
A recent analysis of international research, however, supports the
controversial claim that "the realist paradigm has dominated the field of
international relations since the early fifties, and that this paradigm has not
,,
been very successful in explaining behavior. 9 It further states "that most
scholars in the field share a fundamental view of the world that was
promulgated by the realist scholars." lo If this is the case, it simply means
that new basic assumptions or paradigms must be introduced into the study
of international relations phenomena. Although there have been some
attempts during the last decade to introduce new direction into the field, in
terms of issue areas, world order studies, and the like, there seems to be no
adequate theoretical or conceptual framework which could replace the
dominant paradigm of current scholarship and policy formulation. The
research of the last few years has been more successful in showing the
inadequacies of the three major approaches just mentioned than creating or
presenting a new one that could stand the test of time. Yet it is clear that
the economic determinism school of thought, the political power-oriented
tradition of the realist phase, and the post-realist and behavioralist
approach all have certain commonalities:
1 . they share a power-driven notion of international relations which IS
either political or economic or both;
2. they believe in the notion of nation-state as a "political" state;
3. they make communication and cultural factors subservient to political,

than just the reallocation of economic, political, and technological values
and bases. It involves multidimensional factors with authority, legitimacy,
and will playing crucial roles. Only in this context can we hope that the real
process of international relations and information flow will be adequately

6 Global information and world communication
From our analysis, we can thus conclude that four basic assumptions or
approaches have characterized the activities of scholars, governments, media
practitioners, and individual citizens in the field of international com
munication over the last half century. The idealistic-humanistic approach
characterizes international communication as a means of bringing nations
and peoples together and as a power to assist international organizations in
the exercise of their services to the world community. As such, it strives
toward increasing understanding among nations and peoples and toward the
attainment of world peace. The process of communication here is seen in its
most idealistic form.
A second approach, sometimes called political proselytization, sees inter
national communication as propaganda, ideological confrontation, adver
tising, and the creation of myths and cliches. These are usually one-way
communications and they all require central organizing authorities of some
kind. They are thus imbued with a certain authoritarian, totalitarian char
acter that makes it possible to manipulate human beings. This approach to
international communication has dominated relations between and among
states for the last several decades.
A third, increasingly visible approach is to view information in the
international context as economic power. Here, its operation is more subtle,
the message more subliminal. Overtly respectable international develop

8 Global information and world communication
The diplomatic flow of information has been one of the most traditional
forms of international communication. Historically, it can be traced back
to the emergence of modem nation-states and the international political
system. The traditional style of diplomacy was characterized in the early
years by a small group of national elites, using interpersonal forms of
communication. But with the advent of modem communication technology
and the emergence of nongovernmental actors, a new style of diplomacy
arose, one more oriented toward the masses and the public. Researchers
have recognized this new flow of information as "political persuasive

,,
communication, propaganda," and more recently as "public diplomacy. 1 2
One important feature of this new form of communication was the
importance placed on public opinion. 1 3 Technological advancement in
communication allowed governments to direct their messages to large
national, as well as international, audiences. For example, the development
of radio, and more recently television and satellite systems, led to the
implementation of international broadcasting. National boundaries were no
longer barriers to international political and diplomatic messages. This was
only the beginning. Almost all governments around the world set up
"information" and "propaganda" agencies, hired public relations firms, and
organized regular and systematic "briefing" meetings and lavish diplomatic
parties in order to influence their foreign and domestic audiences.
The impact of propaganda during World War I and the development of
new techniques in persuasive communication dominated the earlier studies
of international political communication. As propaganda and psychological
warfare played an important role in World War II, the study of

In general, there seem to be three kinds of communication theory
underpinning international relations research: mathematical, sociopsycho
logical, and linguistic. Mathematical theory appears to be a growing field in
the United States - the low level mathematical theories coming from
empirical and theoretical research done on military strategy and national
ism. For example, Lewis Richardson, Anatol Rappaport, and Thomas
Schelling have been as concerned with developing theories of conflict
strategy as Karl Deutsch and David Easton have been with politics and
international relations. 27 The sociopsychological tradition has had a tre
mendous influence on politics and mass media research, and the linguistic
tradition has led to such areas as symbol analysis and content analysis. 28
Information flow has been the essential ingredient in the evolution of
international political economy, since information and institutional

Further, during the Cold War the Pentagon completed a strategic master
plan to give the United States the capability of winning a protracted
nuclear war with the former Soviet Union. According to the press report,
"One consequence of this planning has been a commitment of $ 1 8 billion
to provide a communication system that could endure such protracted
,,
nuclear warfare. 34 In short, increasingly accurate missile technology and
sophisticated means of communications, coupled with military satellites
now in orbit, gave confidence and support to these projected or planned
strategies. The Soviet Union, of course, had its own military-oriented space
projects that had not yet been publicized.

Indeed, as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of the so
called "post-Cold War era" demonstrated, these technologies have now
become alternative security systems. The ability of the United States and its
allies to use modem communication technologies as a major strategic
advantage in the Persian Gulf War is indeed a case in point. Yet, the fact
remains that non-weapon, sensory communication and computer technol
ogy are challenging the strategic balance of power, making the nation-state
system less secure and in many ways precipitating a new round in the arms
race, especially in such strategic areas as the Persian Gulf.
A monograph discussing the transparency revolution - sensory, com
munication, and computing - concludes that "effective control of space by
,,
one state would lead to planet-wide hegemony. 3 5 This transparency
revolution, which has "created a rudimentary planetary nervous system,
fragments of a planetary cybernetic, has militarized yet another natural
feature of the planet lying beyond the effective sovereignty of the nation
,,
state - the electromagnetic spectrum. 36 In ancient times, Persia's extensive
transportation and postal services were the indispensable nerve system in its
war with Greece. During the nineteenth century, Britain's control of the
underseas cable network was responsible for its naval hegemony in the
world. In the twentieth century, the first ocean-spanning satellites enabled
the American president to pick up bombing targets in Vietnam in the
morning and see photo reconnaissance images of the results in the evening.
The strategic importance of space communication technology has
obvious economic dimensions as well. For example,
INTELSAT provides a system on which about a quarter of the communication
traffic either originates or terminates in the United States, a system consisting of
billions of dollars worth of satellites manufactured by US firms and a system
which provides homes and businesses across America with inexpensive and
7
efficient access to virtually every place on Earth. 3

At the same time, the globalization of national economies and the fact that
a quarter of worldwide economic activities are now involved with inter
national trade and services give further incentives for a country to have a
leading edge in communication technology.
The privatization and proliferation of international satellite systems were
opposed by many, including Third World countries, because, as was
reported by the director of INTELSAT, Richard Colino, in 1 986, they were
likely to serve only the most lucrative heavier routes of United States
European communication, and doubly harm the Third World.
A reduction in use of the system by the USA and other North Atlantic countries
would correspondingly reduce their investment shares and thus increase the
investment shares of the rest of the membership. Consequently, Third World
countries would be required to increase their capital contributions as well as pay
8
higher utilization charges if mainstream traffic were lost. 3

Today data banks are all multinational in structure and content: decision
models involve many sets of national and regional legal frameworks and
communication channels cross international boundaries.
Indeed information and communication technologies now provide an
important segment of transnational businesses. As hardware and communi
cations markets continue to develop globally, there is corresponding
opportunity to develop software markets. The latter should be thought of
in broader terms than merely computer programs for hardware service.
They include management systems, data for data banks, and technological
know-how. The intermingling of the hardware and software components of
communication systems as well as the prominence given to the distribution
aspects of communication is well illustrated in a number of major
consolidations, mergers, and takeovers in the worldwide communication
and information industries. For example, IBM has a huge distribution
network through which it sells everything from mainstream computers to
business consulting services. Yet the problem is that IBM for years lacked

media. In the 1 970s, for example, it was estimated that the American
population was exposed to about 8.7 trillion words each day through
electronic media such as radio, television, newspaper, books, and maga
zines. This figure has been rising as a result of new computer-related
networks at the average rate of 1 .2 percent per year. The US government's
budget for information technology alone has risen from $9.2 billion in fiscal
year 1 982 to $ 1 5.2 billion in 1 986 to an estimated $30 billion in 1 996.
The global economy is now truly developing into an information-based
economy. Such development and its effects include: the increasing flow of
information and information-based products and services among nations;
the growing economic importance of information and related products and
services within and between nations; the increasing cultural and political
significance of information and related products and services; the
emergence of new information-based products and services that do not
correspond to traditional categories; the increasing difficulty of enforcing
intellectual property rights on the international level; and the growing

One characteristic of our age is that small nations, more than ever, are now
challenging the world political and economic structures. The experience in
Vietnam and the Islamic revolution in Iran during the 1 970s were only two
dramatic examples of both political and ideological conflict between the
superpowers on the one hand and smaller countries on the other. The post
Cold War surge in so-called "ethnic conflict" is the continuation of a trend
that began in the 1 960s. The end of the Cold War contributed to the long
term trend of state conflict by increasing the number of nation-states
experiencing such a power transition. It can be argued that because the
great powers have a high stake in international system maintenance, and
because they must maintain a posture to satisfy their domestic political,
military, and economic elites, they have little interest under the existing

who either had no front o r unity o f their own independent from the
superpowers, or were in such a state of flux that they tended to ally
themselves with one camp or the other on a number of issues and fronts. In
such a system of international relations, agenda setting is the main source
of power. In the last two decades, as a result of nationalism, revolution,
ethnicity, and religio-political movements around the world, the monopoly
of the great powers' agenda setting systems has been constantly challenged
and in some cases even reduced.
Because the control over the means of international communication is
expensive and subject to economies of scale, there is little room for smaller
countries to inject themselves into the increasing global communications
markets. Today, the world's seven richest nations - the United States,
Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan - control not only the
bulk of the world's wealth, but also the bulk of its future. But even within
these rich countries there is concentration of wealth, and smaller countries
such as France and Canada fear that their own cultures will be overtaken
by the American cult of commercialism. In the global society, those who
hold mastery of information and ready capital, rather than military might,
dictate the course of the world. This so-called globalization of the mass
media combined with the globalization of the economy has resulted in the
production and the distribution of television, video, and other cultural
industry products that have led not only to the homogeneity of the
products but also to the reproduction of violent programs across national
boundaries just because they are simply inexpensive and have the ability to
cross cultural barriers.
We have entered a period of challenging and chaotic digital trans
formation. The result will be a redefinition of international politics in terms
of communication and cultural activities. The unpredictability of inter
national events and the insecurity of the major powers, are no longer

necessarily masters of their own fates, are included in this unsettling reality,
as are the erosion of the legitimacy of the nation-state system and the
increasing demands for change from smaller nations and groups. It is
neither an "end of ideology," as American sociologist Daniel Bell predicted
some year ago, nor the "end of history" that one conservative commen
tator, Francis Fukuyama, more recently noted. Simply put, history clearly
is open; quests for new ideologies and a new world order have begun.
The agenda setting of the day - what to table and what to think about -
becomes more important than what position one must take about the issues
that are confronting the world community. The conflict is just as much
about the priority and primacy of the issues as about the nature of the
issues themselves. Thus control over information flow and communication
must accompany access to material and natural resources. It is only under
a powerful communication and information system that one can determine
the parameters of international security debates. In short, conceptualization
of world, regional, and national problems is the basis for political, econ
omic, and military mobilization.
