Nadia Kaneva studies how public diplomacy and nation branding are used by state and non-state actors to advance claims to power in the aftermath of the Cold War. She is the editor of three books: Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities (Routledge, 2015), Branding Post-Communist Nations: Marketizing National Identities in the “New” Europe (Routledge, 2011), and, with Stewart Hoover, Fundamentalisms and the Media (Bloomsbury, 2009). Her research appears in numerous academic journals and edited collections.
