A thesis submitted to: l'Université Libre de Bruxelles & The University of Warwick (PAIS) For the qualification of: PhD, Politics and International Studies by Andrew Anzur Clement September 2017 4 Abstract The EU has widened and deepened the single market over time according to a transactionalist discourse of common-interests in integration. This rationale holds that as amounts of cross- border movement increase, Member State populations should perceive the single market as beneficial, thus leading to the creation of an affective European identity. Instead, as consequences of integration have become more visible, resistance to the EU has become more pronounced, especially with relation to the Union's right of free movement of persons. This thesis argues that interest-based theories of integration ignore prospects for resilient national identities to influence the accordance of solidarity ties, so as to color interest perceptions within national public spheres. Combining the literature on European identity, moral panic and communication studies on news framing, it maintains that the popular news media provide a conduit through which these interest perceptions can be taken up through the tendency of news outlets to report events that deviantly threaten underlying identity conceptions. Through content analysis of 'popular' press in the UK, Spain and Poland, it seeks to show how the inane tendency of news to report events in terms of an identity-based narrative can serve to foment moral panic within national publics. Contrary to interest based theories of integration, the EU's discourse clashes with national identity. Disintegration may be posited as the 'proper stance' to be supported on the part of the public in news narrative, if threatening deviance caused by EU migration is to be resolved. 5 Contents One: Introduction ............................................................................................. 11 From Eastern Expansion to 'Brexit': The EU fifteen years after Framing Europe .............................. 11 Main argument and aims of the research ...................................................................................... 12 Qualifying recent resistance to integration: What is anti-Europe?

    ARENA Centre for European Studies University of Oslo Annual report 2019 Introduction ARENA Centre for European Studies is an internationally renowned research centre at the University of Oslo. We conduct theoretically oriented and empirically informed basic research on the dynamics of the evolving European political order. This report provides a comprehensive overview of our ongoing projects, publications and events. 2019 marked ARENA’s 25th anniversary and 25 years since the introduction of the EEA Agreement, a period in which ARENA’s research has shaped both the public and scholarly debate in the field of European studies. This was emphasised at the ARENA anniversary conference by Minister of Foreign Affairs Ine Eriksen Søreide, who congratulated ARENA on its long-time contribution, and underlined the continued need to raise awareness and knowledge about European integration for the future. In 2019 ARENA took on, for the fifth time, the coordinator role on an extensive EU project. EU Differentiation, Dominance and Democracy (EU3D) project members from ARENA will work together with academic partners across Europe to provide new insights on the democratic potentials and pitfalls of differentiation in today’s EU. The project’s kick-off conference in Rome brought together more than 50 participants to discuss differentiation in Europe. ARENA’s many other projects ensured an active year for researchers and staff. GLOBUS organised study tours to China and Russia with partners, policy makers and stakeholder to discuss the EU’s role in the world. PLATO held a fourth PhD School on preliminary project findings. ARENA researchers continued to publish research with top tier academic journals and publishers.

    ADVERTISEMENT NEW EASTERN EUROPE IS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT BETWEEN THREE POLISH PARTNERS The City of Gdańsk www.gdansk.pl A city with over a thousand years of history, Gdańsk has been a melting pot of cultures and ethnic groups. The air of tolerance and wealth built on trade has enabled culture, science, and the Arts to flourish in the city for centuries. Today, Gdańsk remains a key meeting place and major tourist attraction in Poland. While the city boasts historic sites of enchanting beauty, it also has a major historic and social importance. In addition to its 1000-year history, the city is the place where the Second World War broke out as well as the birthplace of Solidarność, the Solidarity movement, which led to the fall of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe. The European Solidarity Centre www.ecs.gda.pl The European Solidarity Centre is a multifunctional institution combining scientific, cultural and educational activities with a modern museum and archive, which documents freedom movements in the modern history of Poland and Europe. The Centre was established in Gdańsk on November 8th 2007. Its new building was opened in 2014 on the anniversary of the August Accords signed in Gdańsk between the worker’s union “Solidarność” and communist authorities in 1980. The Centre is meant to be an agora, a space for people and ideas that build and develop a civic society, a meeting place for people who hold the world’s future dear. The mission of the Centre is to commemorate, maintain and popularise the heritage and message of the Solidarity movement and the anti-communist democratic op- position in Poland and throughout the world.

This is especially the case in the city of Derry/Londonderry, where media reported on a car bomb on 19 January 2019, its explosion almost killing five passer-by’s. Only three months later, during Easter, the death of young journalist Lyra McKee shocked the world. International media link these stories to one event that has attracted the eyes of the world: Brexit, and the looming hard border between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

  • Wise Managment in Business, Politics & Life
    Wise managment in business, politics & life An exclusive interview with Lord Nigel Vinson, a veteran member of the House of Lords in the British Parliament Conducted by Bardia Garshasbi in Nothumberland, England -- August 2013 I took an early morning train from London to the northernmost part of England to meet with Mr. Nigel Vinson, a veteran member of the House of Lords in the British Parliament and a remarkably successful inventor/businessman in the UK. My journey to Northumberland took several hours and there at the station I found Lord Vinson waiting for me. Smartly dressed, he looked much younger than I expected. His briskness and friendly manners surprised me from the very moment we met. He swiftly drove the car through narrow, winding roads in the countryside and, at the age of 82, he was not even wearing glasses! In fact, he said he had never worn them. I was really astonished. It took us half an hour before his beautiful mansion came into sight from afar. Standing lonely at a high ground and surrounded by vast green fields, the house looked more like a symbol of wealth and stability. And yet, unlike many other symbols of wealth which are intended to be ostentatious or rubbed in the face of the beholder, this whole set was cleverly designed (by Lord Vinson himself) to blend in with the surrounding nature and become part of the landscape. Lord Vinson and his wife were so kind to me and soon their hospitality made me feel at home. They even served me with breakfast and I still remember the exceptionally delicious egg on toast.
