The ambivalent politicisation of European communication - Genesis of the controversies and institutional frictions surrounding the 2006 White Paper. GSPE Working Paper 10/28/2008

摘要

This article analyses the political stakes of the EU’s communication policy. The authors study the frictions between European institutions, mainly the Commission and Parliament, after the publication of the White Paper on a European Communication Policy, replacing them in the context of the representations, routines, and compromises that have historically structured the interinstitutional relationships about communication. This historical perspective enables them to show the longlasting and persistent attention of the European actors to the promotion of Europe, as well as the strength of logics of compromise on the politicisation of European communication.
