<p style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In this post-colonial era, the political advancement of the Global South
can be largely reflected in and at the same time forms its political discourse,
which to a great extent, diverges from the discourses of the developed Global
North, in particular Western Europe and North America. This special issue
therefore calls for a concerted effort to explore the new theoretical input and
methods of political discourse analysis and its application to the study of
political development in the Global South.<br>
<br>
Political discourse is an interdisciplinary subject of study, situated at the
intersection of language, media and politics. Political discourse, in its
definition, underlines the significance of language in the study of politics,
wherein language can not only be used as a device but also consists of the
object of study in politics. What’s more, with the advancement of technology,
media has been, in addition to serving as a platform displaying political talks
and texts, playing an increasingly important and sometimes even dominant role
in modern and/or post-colonial politics.<br>
<br>
Upholding the journal’s spirit of promoting cross-disciplinary research, this
special issue of Bandung: Journal of the Global South is dedicated to the
integrative study of language, media and politics. It aims to address the
latest theoretical and methodological developments in political discourse
research and their applications. Manuscripts either adopting a global or
comparative perspective, or with a specific regional or institutional focus on
the Global South are welcome.<span></span></span></p>
