The Europeanization of Media Discourse: A Study of Quality Press Coverage of Economic Policy Co‐ordination since Amsterdam*

Journal of Common Market Studies, 2005, vol. 43, issue 1, 121-148

Abstract: The article seeks to contribute to the debate about the Europeanization of publicized discourse as a key factor in the underpinning of legitimate and effective governance in Europe. It explores the degree to which two sets of European Union legal provisions for the co‐ordination of national employment and fiscal policies have led to an adaptation of media discourses in selected Member States over time. Overall, the study finds only a modest degree of Europeanization with regard to media attention, representation of foreign voices and thematic convergence, but notes important differences between the two selected governing modes and to a lesser degree between the selected countries. It puts forward a number of hypotheses to explain why fiscal policy co‐ordination led to more Europeanization of media discourse as compared to the softer governing mode in the area of employment policy.
