Description: Written by a leading team of internationally-distinguished political communication scholars, this book offers the most comprehensive account on comparative political communication research in the context of European Parliamentary elections currently available.
Review Quotes: 'This carefully conceptualized volume is an excellent example of comparative research in a multi-cultural context. Taking the 2009 EP election as an anchor point, the collaboratively written chapters of this book examine how nationalized or Europeanized the campaign styles, new reporting styles and voter reactions were in the various member states. The insights in the linkages between the national and European level make the book a must-read for anyone interested in European political communication research.'
