in Zeitschrift für Politik , Jahrgang 57, Heft 4, 2010 , 2010 | ||
Summary The Commission of the EU wants to convince the public of the positive results of the European integration process but is only partly successful in its communication policy attempts in this respect. Public reaction often shows critique and people have little interest in the EU development. In order to identify the causes of this situation the paper analyzes central aspects of the EU information and communication policy and looks at the main actors in the European communication process. In addition to policy deficitsthe conflict between member states’ pursuit of national interests and EU rhetoric of common goods is discussed as an explanation for EU communication in crisis. | ||
