Présentation de l'éditeur
The Euro Crisis produced the most significant challenge to European
integration in 60 years testing the structures and powers of the
European Union and the Eurozone and threatening the common currency.
This book explores how the financial and political crisis was portrayed
in the European press and the implications of that coverage on public
understanding of the developments, their causes, responsibilities for
addressing the crisis, the roles and effectiveness of European
institutions, and the implications for European integration and
identity. It addresses factors that shaped news and analysis, the roles
of European leaders, and the extent to which national and pan-European
debates over the crisis occurred. In doing so, it provides a clear and
readable explanation of what the portrayals tell us about Europe and
European integration in the early twenty-first century."
