This book examines how mass media debates have contributed to the
politicization of the European Union. The public controversies over
the EU's attempted Constitution-making (and its failure) sowed the
seeds for a process of politicization that has advanced ever since:
an increasing visibility for the EU in mass-mediated public debates
that is combined with a growing public contestation over Europe
within national politics. The book presents an original systematic
study of the emerging field of political discourse carried by the
mass media in France, Germany and Britain to examine the
performance of Europe's public sphere. Whilst the EU's increasing
politicization can be seen as beneficial to European democracy,
potentially 'normalizing' the EU-level within national politics,
the same developments can also be a threat to democracy, leading to
populist and xenophobic responses and a decline in political trust.
Such discussions are key to understanding the EU's legitimacy and
how its democratic politics can work in an era of mediated
politics. The Politicization of Europe will be of interest to
students and scholars of comparative politics, media studies,
communication, sociology and European studies.
