Objectif 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 Champ scientifique social sciencesmedia and communicationsjournalismsocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical transitionselectionssocial sciencespolitical sciencesgovernment systemsdemocracysocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programme(s) FP7-SSH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities Thème(s) SSH.2013.4.2-1 - Media in conflicts and peace building Appel à propositions FP7-SSH-2013-2 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinateur UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS Contribution de l’UE € 432 857,00 Adresse WOODHOUSE LANE LS2 9JT Leeds Royaume-Uni Voir sur la carte Région Yorkshire and the Humber West Yorkshire Leeds Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Martin Hamilton (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Participants (8) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire RUHR-UNIVERSITAET BOCHUM Allemagne Contribution de l’UE € 249 644,00 Adresse UNIVERSITAETSSTRASSE 150 44801 Bochum Voir sur la carte Région Nordrhein-Westfalen Arnsberg Bochum, Kreisfreie Stadt Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Dagny Koerber (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée UNIVERSITAET HAMBURG Allemagne Contribution de l’UE € 306 874,00 Adresse MITTELWEG 177 20148 Hamburg Voir sur la carte Région Hamburg Hamburg Hamburg Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Simone Ludwig (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Royaume-Uni Contribution de l’UE € 338 588,00 Adresse WELLINGTON SQUARE UNIVERSITY OFFICES OX1 2JD Oxford Voir sur la carte Région South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Gill Wells (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée RHODES UNIVERSITY Participation terminée Afrique du Sud Contribution de l’UE Aucune donnée Adresse Drostdy Road 6140 Grahamstown Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Suède Contribution de l’UE € 205 065,00 Adresse UNIVERSITETSVAGEN 10 10691 Stockholm Voir sur la carte Région Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Christian Christensen (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée UNIVERZITET U BEOGRADU – FAKULTET POLITIČKIH NAUKA Serbie Contribution de l’UE € 210 052,00 Adresse JOVE ILICA 165 11000 Beograd Voir sur la carte Région Србија - север Београдски регион Београдска област Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Nebojsa Vladisavljevic (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO Égypte Contribution de l’UE € 209 162,00 Adresse KASR EL AINI STREET 113 19511 Cairo Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Dina Riad (Dr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN Afrique du Sud Contribution de l’UE € 226 466,00 Adresse PRIVATE BAG X3 7701 Rondebosch Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée
