Forschungsschwerpunkt
Außenpolitische Perspektive: Massenmedien und internationale Beziehungen
Angesichts des Fortschritts in den Informationstechnologien, aber auch infolge der wachsenden Unübersichtlichkeit in den internationalen Beziehungen seit dem Ende des 'Kalten Krieges' gewinnen die Medien auch in außenpolitischen Belangen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Demgemäß befassen sich die Forschungen im jüngsten Schwerpunkt der Kommissionstätigkeit mit der wechselseitigen Wahrnehmung in den zwischenstaatlichen Beziehungen mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf dem transatlantischen Verhältnis und dem Prozess der europäischen Integration.
