Britain and Germany Imagining the Future of Europe
Through analysis of newspaper coverage on the debate over the future of Europe in Great Britain and Germany between 2000 and 2005, this book explores the intricate ways in which national identities shape media discourses on European integration. In doing so, it provides some compelling insights into Europe's emerging communicative space(s).
The Future of Human Rights in the UK
In November 2016 the University of Brighton hosted a one day conference entitled “The Future of Human Rights in the UK”. Legal academics and practitioners from across the UK and Ireland attended to discuss the various topical issues that arise under the title of the conference. Papers were presented on terrorism and counter-terrorism, the role of the European Court of Human Rights, surrogacy and parental rights, union rights, social and economic rights and Brexit; to name but a few. This edited collection comprises a selection of the papers presented. It is a thought-provoking collection designed to make the reader ask themselves: what does the future of human rights in the UK look like?
The European Union and the Public Sphere
The European Union is often attacked for its ‘democratic deficit’, namely its deficiencies in representation, transparency and accountability, as well as its lack of popular support. Can these shortcomings be counteracted by the development of a viable European public sphere? This book assesses the possible formation of a communicative space that might enable and engender the creation of a transnational or a supranational public. The contributors consider the EU’s democratic credentials and how well it communicates, and they also evaluate the major institutions and their links to general publics. The European Union and the Public Sphere emphasizes a ‘deliberative democratic’ perspe...

Zwischen Macht und Ohnmacht
Macht und Ohnmacht liegen in der Politik eng beieinander – ebenso wie Erfolg und Misserfolg. Worin erfolgreiche Politik bestehen und wie sie konkret entstehen kann, untersucht dieser Sammelband facettenartig. In seinem Mittelpunkt stehen die persönlichen Einsichten von über zwanzig prominenten Politikern. Welche Faktoren zu erfolgreicher Politik beitragen, untersuchen zudem zahlreiche bekannte Beobachter des politischen Geschehens – in allgemeinverständlicher und zugleich pointierter Weise. Die Beiträge in diesem Buch bieten Einblicke, wie Ziele und Werte in die Politik gelangen; sie befassen sich mit Mitteln und Wegen, die erfolgreiche Politik nutzen kann; sie analysieren, welche Formen des Monologs und Dialogs dabei hilfreich sind.
Media Diversity in South Africa
This timely book argues that the Global North’s research methods and traditional assumptions are not valid to the media landscapes and audiences of the Global South. With South Africa as the focus, the authors offer a new understanding of media diversity along an audience-centred approach. Disappointingly, research shows that most South African citizens (most of whom are economically marginalised) are found to experience extremely low levels of media content diversity in their personal media diets. The contributing factors are inter-related and complex, but include the inequitable distribution of media content, a lack of African language media, and most especially, the cost of media access...
Transparency and Funding of Public Service Media – Die deutsche Debatte im internationalen Kontext
Durch ihren öffentlichen Auftrag und die Finanzierung durch die Haushaltsabgabe stehen ARD, ZDF und das Deutschlandradio unter einem besonderen Legitimations- und Rechtfertigungsdruck. Dabei rücken Forderungen nach transparenteren Finanz- und Gremienstrukturen der Sendeanstalten zunehmend in den Vordergrund. Neben der deutschen Debatte reflektiert der Band in 14 Länderfallstudien Entwicklungen und Diskussionen um die Zukunft der Finanzierung öffentlich-rechtlicher Medien und verbindet dabei medienpolitische Forschung und Praxis.
