Gilmore (2002) - truthfulness is important in constructing the nation-brand- use existing values of the national culture not false promise

Olins (2003)       - the techniques of branding are applicated to every area of  mass communications; political leaders, nations, regions, …

Aldersey-Wlliams (1998)

Anholt (2007)            - politicians need to avoid the explicit use of branding

vocabulary
