As the power and scope of the European Union moves further, beyond
traditional forms of international cooperation between sovereign
states, it is important to analyse how these developments are
impacting upon national institutions and processes of democratic
representation and legitimacy in the member countries. The authors
in this book identify four core processes of democratic governance
present in any democratic political system that link societal and
state processes of decision-making: opinion formation, interest
intermediation, national executive decision-making and national
parliamentary scrutiny. From a normative perspective they discuss
what impacts this process of Europeanization has on democracy in
the evolving system. They conclude that more changes are seen
within the state-centric than in the societal-centred processes of
democracy, thus the public seems to have been 'left behind' in the
process of constructing Europe. The empirical research and
normative discussion presented in this book are designed to further
our knowledge concerning the Europeanization of social and state
processes of democracy and to contribute to the continuing dialogue
on democracy in the European Union. This book will be of great
interest to academics and researchers of political science, public
policy and international relations, as well as those interested in
European studies and comparative politics.
This book investigates news use patterns among five different
generations in a time where digital media create a multi-choice
media environment. The book introduces the EPIG Model
(Engagement-Participation-Information-Generation) to study how
different generational cohorts' exposure to political information
is related to their political engagement and participation. The
authors build on a multi-method framework to determine direct and
indirect media effects across generations. The unique dataset
allows for comparison of effects between legacy and social media
use and helps to disentangle the influence on citizens' political
involvement in nonelection as well as during political campaign
times. Bringing the newly of-age Generation Z into the picture, the
book presents an in-depth understanding of how a changing media
environment presents different challenges and opportunities for
political involvement of this, as well as older generations.
Bringing the conversation around political engagement and the media
up to date for the new generation, this book will be of key
importance to scholars and students in the areas of media studies,
communication studies, technology, political science and political
communication.

This book tells the story of how the news media can help the
inattentive members of the public become better educated and
knowledgeable 'economic citizens'. The authors argue that changes
in the economy, journalism and consumer culture have made economic
news more visible, more mainstream and more accessible. They show
how economic news not only affects economic perceptions, but also
interest in the economy, knowledge about the economy, and economic
voting. Relying on statistical analyses, the book provides a
comprehensive and systematic study of the effects of economic news.

Political journalism is often under fire. Conventional wisdom and
much scholarly research suggest that journalists are cynics and
political pundits. Political news is void of substance and overly
focused on strategy and persons. Citizens do not learn from the
news, are politically cynical, and are dissatisfied with the media.
This book challenges these assumptions, which are often based on
single-country studies with limited empirical observations about
the relation between news production, content, and journalism's
effects. Based on interviews with journalists, a systematic content
analysis of political news, and panel survey data in different
countries, this book tests how different systems and media-politics
relations condition the contents of political news. It shows how
different content creates different effects, and demonstrates that
under the right circumstances citizens learn from political news,
do not become cynical, and are satisfied with political journalism.
