This book explores the latest EU communication patterns during harsh times. By conjunctively examining media frames and narratives, political discourse and citizens´ perceptions, the volume promotes a critical, yet constructive approach to European integration. It also gives coherent answers to the very challenging question: "Why Europe?".
This publication tackles strategies for bridging the widening gap between the EU and its citizens. It focuses on new theoretical and empirical frameworks about EU media frames and narratives, political discourse and citizens´ perceptions in order to promote a critical, yet constructive approach to the role of communication in the process of European integration. It has been acknowledged that the least problem the EU has is a communication problem. Communication is largely ineffective against a rising sentiment of injustice and inequality among increasingly diverse national, social and political groupings across the EU. Therefore, the authors underline how EU communication and EU public sphere can shape common representations of what can unite us as Europeans.
EU communication deficit - EU crises - representations and perceptions of Europe - narratives of europeanization - European identity - populism - extremism - euroscepticism - future of the EU
