- Synopsis
- This book examines under what scope conditions foreign policy actors are more or less likely to adopt, or at least act according to, media logic. The authors analyze this media logic under three specific scope conditions: uncertainty, identity, resonance. First, they lay out the general adaptation of media logic in the general debate of the UN General Assembly 1992-2010. They then explore the adaptation of media logic under six different foreign policy decision-making processes, as expressed through the self-perceived foreign policy roles of Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom in the cases of humanitarian intervention in C#65533;te d'Ivoire and Libya, both in 2011. The results of this study indicate the need to move beyond the assumption of a general process of mediatization affecting politics in total, across contextual factors. Instead, they point in the direction of a nuanced process of mediatization more likely under certain scope conditions and in certain political contexts.
