In recent years the interest in comparative study of media systems has 
perked up within the field of media/mass communication studies. The 
course aims to contribute to this growing interest in understanding what 
shapes media systems and how they in turn shape societies. The course 
will address media systems in Europe and the world in relation to 
technological, economic, political, social and cultural changes that 
influence their development. The course will analyze these changes in a 
comparative way, engaging with recent methods of comparative analyses of 
media systems.



Over the last decades, many countries in Europe, America, Asia and 
Africa have made the transition from dictatorial to democratic systems. 
However, after the political transition, which frequently occurs in very 
short periods of time, there are a series of social, institutional and 
cultural changes. These changes allow firstly the establishment of 
values that give meaning to the democratic public space and, in 
addition, the adjustments from the past to facilitate a better 
coexistence between citizens in the current nation. This course is in 
2014 intended as a contribution to the comparative study of transitional 
processes with special emphasis on the politics of the media.



The course will in 2014 host a one-day methodological workshop on fsQCA, 
a comparative research method with growing importance in media studies.



Each year the topic of the course will focus on one, or a combination, 
of areas which define media systems: media markets (including aspects of 
ownership structures, concentration, audience behavior and media use, 
etc.), media and state (including media policy and regulation), 
political parallelism (or the relationship of the media, journalists, 
and the political sphere, including political communication and 
political culture), and professionalization of the journalists and the 
media.



The Inter-University Centre was founded in Dubrovnik in 1972 as an 
independent, autonomous academic institution with the aim of promoting 
international co-operation between academic institutions throughout the 
world. Courses are held in all scientific disciplines around the year, 
with participation of member and affiliated universities worldwide.
