Internal communications (IC) is the function responsible for effective communication or trade among participants within an organization, including states.
Modern understanding of internal communications is a field of its own and draws on the theory and practice of related professions, not least journalism, knowledge management, public relations (e.g., media relations), marketing and human resources, as well as wider organizational studies, communication theory, social psychology, sociology and political science.
In states poor internal communications can have adverse effects on catastrophe relief, war outcome or establishing its authority in a certain sector, contributing in this cases to a failed state status.

Famous quotes containing the word internal:
“You will see Coleridge—he who sits obscure
In the exceeding lustre and the pure
Intense irradiation of a mind,
Which, with its own internal lightning blind,
Flags wearily through darkness and despair—
A cloud-encircled meteor of the air,
A hooded eagle among blinking owls.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
