You may have noticed that written, oral, and visual communication sent and received across a room, a city, a country, a continent, or around the globe, in a fraction of a second, has greatly supplanted communication in person or by landline phone or written or typewritten on paper and then sent by fax, truck, train or airplane to its destination. You may also have observed that creating goods and services and the accompanying documentation in other countries or continents to be used in different parts of the world is a far more widespread practice now than two or three decades ago when most organizations performed these tasks internally. You may even have noticed that knowledge itself is no longer the distant province of elites from your own or other countries, or something that people acquire in an initial period of formal education for the rest of their lives, but rather a resource that is constantly renewed, enlarged, disseminated, and acquired by individuals anywhere in the world who are brought together by similar interests and activities and the facilitating power of technology. And with greater access to knowledge, means of travel and communication, people are, you may have realized, more attentive to other languages and cultures--in a word, more cosmopolitan. As someone who depends on efficient and effective communication to get your messages across and to understand the messages of others, you have certainly given considerable thought, and even spoken and written about the ways international professional communication influences, and is influenced by context. The first issue of connexions - international professional communication journal | revista de comunicação profissional internacional aims at examining the field from your point of view on - the past, present, and foreseeable future of the practice, research, and teaching of international professional communication, in local, national, international, and global contexts, and/or - how the practice, research, and teaching of international professional communication has reacted to changes in context, and acted upon its contexts, in different parts of the world.
