The concept of Orientalism refers to the distorted manner in which Eastern people and cultures are often viewed by the West. Despite long awareness of this tendency it persists in modern media. However, its focus shifts depending upon which states are perceived by Western governments as presenting the most significant threat to their dominance of international affairs. In recent years Russia and China have begun to supplant the Islamic world as preeminent among such perceived threats. This paper argues that a pattern of media reporting exists which limits views of such states in a way that generates a shallow and stereotypical conception of its people. The danger in this is that, lacking a well-rounded view of the people and culture of such states, the use of force becomes more easily framed as a necessity amongst other policy options, rather than a choice of absolute of last resort. 2020-05-20T04:41:50Z 2020-05-20T04:41:50Z 2018 ASR: Chiang Mai University.Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 5,2 (July-Dec 2018), p.114-128 2465-4329 http://cmuj.cmu.ac.th/uploads/asr_journal_list_index/864756991.pdf http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/68650 Eng Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Chiang Mai University
