> This book contributes to the theoretical and 
> policy debates on the existence and development 
> of a European public sphere. The volume starts 
> with a critical discussion of the links between 
> media, history and politics in Europe by looking 
> at the re-organisation of ideological and 
> political determinants (such as Left-Right or 
> East-West) and discussing the (non-)existence of 
> a European editorial culture. In the second part 
> of the volume, we examine how international 
> crises have been debated in national media in 
> Europe throughout the post war period. We look 
> empirically at the national media coverage of 
> eight crisis events: the 1956 revolution in 
> Budapest, the building of the Berlin Wall in 
> 1961, the May 1968 youth revolt in Paris, the 
> events of August 1968 in Prague, the declaration 
> of state of war in Poland in 1981, the fall of 
> the Berlin Wall in 1989, the outbreak of the 
> Second Gulf War in 2003 and the Mohammed Cartoons crisis in 2006.
