乌克兰冲突引发了有关冷战分裂重返欧洲的分析。本研究的重点是新闻媒体在冲突中发挥的作用，通过研究新闻框架的视觉和文本的做法如何帮助构成地缘政治合理性和合法化的外交政策。我们通过2014年2月至2015年2月期间的四个关键事件分析了《世界报》、《每日新闻》、《赫尔辛基新闻》和《卫报》中冲突的框架是如何发展的。分析表明，通过宣传特定的新闻框架，报纸有助于欧盟政策的合法化，这些政策以支持乌克兰政府在乌克兰东部的军事行动为基础，并将冲突的责任归咎于俄罗斯。因此，我们认为，新闻框架最终促成了“新冷战”作为一种地缘政治理性的归化，引导和合法化欧洲的外交政策。
The conflict in Ukraine has prompted analyses about the return of cold war divisions to Europe. This study focusses on the role the news media plays in the conflict by examining how the visual and textual practices of news framing help constitute geopolitical rationality and legitimise foreign policy. We analyse how the framing of the conflict in Die Welt, Dagens Nyheter, Helsingin Sanomat and The Guardian developed through four key events between February 2014 and February 2015. The analysis indicates that by promoting particular news frames the newspapers contributed to the legitimation of European Union policies, which are premised upon supporting the Ukrainian government in its military campaign in eastern Ukraine and placing responsibility for the conflict onto Russia. Hence, we argue that the news framing eventually contributed to the naturalisation of the ‘new cold war’ as a geopolitical rationality, orienting and legitimising foreign policy in Europe.
