Political Communication in Europe [electronic resource] : The Cultural and Structural Limits of the European Public Sphere /
Pérez, Francisco.author.
The disconnection between the institutions of the EU and the people of Europe has often been attributed to the existence of a communication gap resulting from the failure of national medias and politicians to convey the importance of the EU. This book challenges that idea instead showing that the fault lies with the idea and institutions of the EU.
