Communication theory
is one of the western schools of
political science. Founded in the 1950s by Karl Deutsch, professor of political
science at Harvard
University. The goal is
to use the principles of cybernetics to explain social and political phenomena.
The core of communication theory is how the political system copes with
pressure from the environment, and communication is crucial for people to
control the environment. This is the main contribution of communication theory
to the study of politics. Communication theory holds that the political system
is always surrounded by information, and communication refers to the ability of
the political system (primarily the government) to receive and respond to
information, including the ability to translate, analyze, use and store
information.
