Objetivo The project ‘Media, Conflict and Democratisation’ investigates the role of traditional media and ICTs in conflicts that accompany and follow transitions to democracy. Our research focuses on three major arenas of contentious politics in emerging democracies: constitutional conflicts, accountability conflicts and election conflicts.We argue that the media cannot be sufficiently understood in isolation, but have to be seen as part of an arena of public contestation that is occupied by multiple actors, each of which thriving to dominate the interpretations and outcomes of ongoing conflicts. Thus, the project aims to investigate• The way in which traditional media in emerging democracies portray conflicts and whether media coverage contributes to the polarisation or moderation of divisions• The diffusion of conflict messages through new ICTs;• The role perceptions, ethics and working practices of journalists in conflict situations;• The communication behaviour of conflict parties – governments, political leaders, civil society groups – during conflicts and how communications heightens or ameliorates tensionsThe empirical research will be carried out in four emerging democracies: Serbia, Egypt, Kenya and South Africa. These countries were chosen because their political development is of great significance for the respective geographical region in which they are located. All four countries have experienced severe democratisation conflicts, but represent distinct contexts that help to understand how cultural, political and social factors shape the role of the media in democratisation conflicts.The project will closely work together with relevant stakeholders to develop recommendations for communication interventions that help to prevent conflicts and provide strategies for effective conflict management and conflict resolution. In particular, we will provide knowledge and skills as to how ICT tools can be used for effective communication management during conflicts Ámbito científico social sciencesmedia and communicationsjournalismsocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical transitionselectionssocial sciencespolitical sciencesgovernment systemsdemocracysocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programa(s) FP7-SSH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities Tema(s) SSH.2013.4.2-1 - Media in conflicts and peace building Convocatoria de propuestas FP7-SSH-2013-2 Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinador UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS Aportación de la UE € 432 857,00 Dirección WOODHOUSE LANE LS2 9JT Leeds Reino Unido Ver en el mapa Región Yorkshire and the Humber West Yorkshire Leeds Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Martin Hamilton (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos Participantes (8) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo RUHR-UNIVERSITAET BOCHUM Alemania Aportación de la UE € 249 644,00 Dirección UNIVERSITAETSSTRASSE 150 44801 Bochum Ver en el mapa Región Nordrhein-Westfalen Arnsberg Bochum, Kreisfreie Stadt Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Dagny Koerber (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERSITAET HAMBURG Alemania Aportación de la UE € 306 874,00 Dirección MITTELWEG 177 20148 Hamburg Ver en el mapa Región Hamburg Hamburg Hamburg Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Simone Ludwig (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Reino Unido Aportación de la UE € 338 588,00 Dirección WELLINGTON SQUARE UNIVERSITY OFFICES OX1 2JD Oxford Ver en el mapa Región South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Gill Wells (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos RHODES UNIVERSITY La participación finalizó Sudáfrica Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Drostdy Road 6140 Grahamstown Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Suecia Aportación de la UE € 205 065,00 Dirección UNIVERSITETSVAGEN 10 10691 Stockholm Ver en el mapa Región Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Christian Christensen (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERZITET U BEOGRADU – FAKULTET POLITIČKIH NAUKA Serbia Aportación de la UE € 210 052,00 Dirección JOVE ILICA 165 11000 Beograd Ver en el mapa Región Србија - север Београдски регион Београдска област Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Nebojsa Vladisavljevic (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO Egipto Aportación de la UE € 209 162,00 Dirección KASR EL AINI STREET 113 19511 Cairo Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Dina Riad (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN Sudáfrica Aportación de la UE € 226 466,00 Dirección PRIVATE BAG X3 7701 Rondebosch Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos
