About the Book

Television’s Second Golden Age: Politics and International Relations in the Era of HBO and Streaming TV examines the foremost series in the Second Golden Age of Television (1999-present), in terms of the political themes, theories, and issues expressed in major television genres. By using The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, House of Cards, Battlestar Galactica, and Game of Thrones. Joel R. Campbell explains the nature of the Second Golden Age. He clarifies how the rise of quality television through premium cable television channels and later streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon have made it possible for television properties with deeper drama, long story arcs, and concentration on political and social issues. Each chapter analyzes a specific television series that aired or streamed since 1999, in terms constructivist political theory.

Table of Contents:

About the Author :
Joel R. Campbell is professor in the political science department of Troy University in Alabama. He teaches in the Master of Science in International Relations (MSIR) program, as well as the undergraduate political science program. He has written extensively on East Asian politics and political economy, along with film, television, and politics.

Review :
Dr. Campbell has written an intriguing book on how TV has not only evolved in terms of storytelling, but also how it reflects political and societal concepts. It is a valuable book that may be used in a variety of classes and scenarios. Joel Campbell's fascinating new book explains the interplay between politics and contemporary television in lucid, elegant prose. The pages abound with original insights about how television, which Campbell deems the "poor stepchild" of movies, ultimately surpassed the latter in quality, due to the increased creative freedom afforded to it by cable and eventually streaming services. Campbell has a keen eye for telling details and gives nuanced, probing, well-reasoned arguments throughout the book. I highly recommend it.
