The
Global Communications Research Centre (GCRC) is hosted by the Department of
International Politics, Aberystwyth University. GCRC aims to develop a research
culture oriented around global and strategic communications. It will build on
existing research strengths and projects in the University while identifying
other areas for investigation. At the same time, the expertise embedded in the
Centre will make a strong contribution to the research outreach of other
Centres hosted by Interpol, helping to strengthen the Department’s integrated
research culture. Moreover, the GCRC will bring together colleagues from across
the University with research interests in global and strategic communications
to encourage an interdisciplinary perspective and research agenda. We will
promote outreach as one of the Centre’s key responsibilities. Providing
practical solutions to contemporary communication challenges, the Centre will
engage routinely with policymakers in the UK and overseas. Our aim will be to
separate myth from reality when assessing how new technologies affect
communication power, and understanding how diplomats, the military, and the
media may work better together and what they may learn from each other. In
short, the CGRC will promote advanced and, where possible, applied research,
support teaching, encourage an interdisciplinary research culture, and enhance
understanding of global and strategic communications across the University and
beyond.
