在本文中，我们解决了所谓的欧盟沟通或公共领域赤字问题。我们开发了一种公共领域欧洲化的系统方法，区分了欧洲化政治传播的三种形式：超国家、垂直和水平。我们建议，公共传播的空间范围和边界可以通过调查传播流并评估不同地缘政治空间内部和之间公共传播的相对密度来确定。我们将此模型应用于 2000 年德国印刷媒体七个议题领域的政治主张数据。我们发现，政治传播的欧洲化程度和形式在不同政策领域之间存在很大差异。这些差异与欧盟在这些领域的能力范围和类型（超国家或政府间）密切相关。与公共领域赤字的假设相反，德国大众媒体似乎相当准确地反映了政策制定的欧洲化，至少在那些权力明确转移到超国家欧盟层面的政策领域是如此。
In this paper we address the alleged communication or public sphere deficit of the EU. We develop a systematic approach to the Europeanization of public spheres, which distinguishes three forms of Europeanized political communication: supranational, vertical and horizontal. We propose that the spatial reach and boundaries of public communication can be determined by investigating communicative flows and assessing the relative density of public communication within and between different geopolitical spaces. We apply this model to data on political claim making in seven issue fields in German print media in the year 2000. We find that the degree and forms of Europeanization of political communication vary considerably among policy fields. These differences are strongly linked to the extent and type (supranational or intergovernmental) of competencies of the EU in these fields. Contrary to the hypothesis of a public sphere deficit, the German mass media seem to quite accurately reflect the Europeanization of policy making, at least in those policy fields where a clear‐cut transfer of competencies to the supranational EU level has taken place.
