Magistro darbo objektas – kultūrinio imperializmo ir informacinio karo ryšys. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti informacinio karo ir kultūrinio imperializmo sąlyčio taškus. Darbo uždaviniai: pateikti kultūros bei imperializmo sąvokų apibrėžimus, parodyti jų sąlyčio taškus, kultūrinį imperializmą traktuojant kaip vieną iš sudedamųjų tarpkultūrinės komunikacijos elementų; išnagrinėti ryškiausias kultūrinio imperializmo apraiškas istorijos eigoje; atskleisti globalizacijos ir technologijų sklaidos reikšmę kultūrinio imperializmo ir informacinio karo sąsajai; išanalizuoti informacijos kaip galios svarbą ir pasireiškimo būdus šiandieniniame globaliame pasaulyje; atlikti kokybinį tyrimą, siekiant rasti informacinio karo bei kultūrinio imperializmo sintezės taškus.
