本书探讨了欧盟最近合法性问题的一个重要根源。它展示了欧洲一体化是如何在大众媒体中辩论的，以及这如何影响民主包容性。推进一体化意味着政府、议会和公民社会之间的权力转移。在欧洲“民主赤字”的争论背后，是一个更深层次的担忧：民主政治是否能在欧洲化和全球化的条件下有效运作。这项研究基于来自七个欧洲国家的大量独特数据，结合了报纸内容分析，对互联网传播结构的创新研究，以及对欧洲各地主要政治和媒体代表的数百次采访。这是迄今为止对媒体话语和政治争论欧洲化的最深远和最有经验的研究，对于任何对欧洲一体化如何改变民主政治以及为什么欧洲一体化越来越有争议感兴趣的人来说，这是一本必读的书。
This book investigates an important source of the European Union’s recent legitimacy problems. It shows how European integration is debated in mass media, and how this affects democratic inclusiveness. Advancing integration implies a shift in power between governments, parliaments, and civil society. Behind debates over Europe’s "democratic deficit" is a deeper concern: whether democratic politics can perform effectively under conditions of Europeanization and globalization. This study is based on a wealth of unique data from seven European countries, combining newspaper content analyses, an innovative study of Internet communication structures, and hundreds of interviews with leading political and media representatives across Europe. It is by far the most far-reaching and empirically grounded study on the Europeanization of media discourse and political contention to date, and a must-read for anyone interested in how European integration changes democratic politics and why European integration has become increasingly contested.
