Obiettivo 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 Campo scientifico social sciencesmedia and communicationsjournalismsocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical transitionselectionssocial sciencespolitical sciencesgovernment systemsdemocracysocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programma(i) FP7-SSH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities Argomento(i) SSH.2013.4.2-1 - Media in conflicts and peace building Invito a presentare proposte FP7-SSH-2013-2 Vedi altri progetti per questo bando Meccanismo di finanziamento CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinatore UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS Contributo UE € 432 857,00 Indirizzo WOODHOUSE LANE LS2 9JT Leeds Regno Unito Mostra sulla mappa Regione Yorkshire and the Humber West Yorkshire Leeds Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Martin Hamilton (Mr.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (8) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto RUHR-UNIVERSITAET BOCHUM Germania Contributo UE € 249 644,00 Indirizzo UNIVERSITAETSSTRASSE 150 44801 Bochum Mostra sulla mappa Regione Nordrhein-Westfalen Arnsberg Bochum, Kreisfreie Stadt Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Dagny Koerber (Ms.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato UNIVERSITAET HAMBURG Germania Contributo UE € 306 874,00 Indirizzo MITTELWEG 177 20148 Hamburg Mostra sulla mappa Regione Hamburg Hamburg Hamburg Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Simone Ludwig (Ms.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Regno Unito Contributo UE € 338 588,00 Indirizzo WELLINGTON SQUARE UNIVERSITY OFFICES OX1 2JD Oxford Mostra sulla mappa Regione South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Gill Wells (Ms.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato RHODES UNIVERSITY Partecipazione conclusa Sud Africa Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Drostdy Road 6140 Grahamstown Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Svezia Contributo UE € 205 065,00 Indirizzo UNIVERSITETSVAGEN 10 10691 Stockholm Mostra sulla mappa Regione Östra Sverige Stockholm Stockholms län Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Christian Christensen (Prof.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato UNIVERZITET U BEOGRADU – FAKULTET POLITIČKIH NAUKA Serbia Contributo UE € 210 052,00 Indirizzo JOVE ILICA 165 11000 Beograd Mostra sulla mappa Regione Србија - север Београдски регион Београдска област Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Nebojsa Vladisavljevic (Prof.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO Egitto Contributo UE € 209 162,00 Indirizzo KASR EL AINI STREET 113 19511 Cairo Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Dina Riad (Dr.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN Sud Africa Contributo UE € 226 466,00 Indirizzo PRIVATE BAG X3 7701 Rondebosch Mostra sulla mappa Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Herman Wasserman (Prof.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato
