Full Description
The essays in "Europe, Parliament and the Media" relate to three interlocking themes: popular perceptions of Europe, public participation in politics, and the role of the media. They touch on wider issues such as the declining attractiveness of representational democracy in contemporary society and constraints imposed - some might say the opportunities offered - by modern technological advances affecting the media. But central to the focus of the book is the European parliament which embodies perhaps more clearly than the other Institutions the democratic paradox: declining voter turnout at European elections at the same time as the European Parliament is gaining more and more powers and responsibilities. This Federal trust series is essential reading for all paractitioners and students of European integration, as well as for national policy-makers, business and the media.
