Through a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, the research employs two analytical frameworks from the realm of critical discourse analysis. The first framework, van Leeuwen's socio-semantic inventory of social-actor representation, sheds light on the ways in which different actors are portrayed and represented in the media. The second framework, van Dijks' concepts of macro-rules, provides a broader understanding of the evolving dynamics of international relations and the global economy as seen through the lens of Western media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study's sample comprises a total of 160 texts, divided evenly between China and Japan, spanning a period of 12 months in 2010 (China) and 1987 (Japan). By comparing the Western representation of these two countries, the similarities and differences in their coverage become even more apparent, particularly in the realms of global politics and the international economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a valuable insight into the complex interplay between economic policies, international relations, and media representation, providing a deeper understanding of the global economic landscape and the challenges faced by countries in the 21st century. It is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of international relations and the role of media in shaping public perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032080086\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damien Ng","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104052277498,"sku":"9781032080086","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647341105812_book.jpg?v=1647359323","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/currency-wars-with-china-and-japan-in-western-newsmagazines-9781032080086","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
