Legitimation in the European Union

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the construction of political legitimacy within the European Union, this book examines the discourse surrounding the EU constitution, particularly in Polish and French media. It explores how political authority transforms when shifting from multilateral negotiations to national news contexts. By integrating Critical Discourse Analysis, Bourdieu's theories, and political thought, it offers a framework for studying legitimation and Europeanisation. The work provides valuable insights for students of European integration and discourse researchers, highlighting the interplay between micro-level text analysis and macro-level political organization.
