There are activities (things that happen in the world) and there are fields of academic study.
International communication can be seen as both an activity and a field of study.
International Communication: “simply defined, is communication that occurs across international borders, that is, over the borders of nation-states”(Fortner).
International Communication: “a field of inquiry and research that consists of the transfer of values, attitudes, opinions, and information through individuals, groups, governments, and technologies, as well as the study of the structure of institutions responsible for promoting or inhibiting such messages among and between nations and cultures”(Mowlana).
