  • MEDRESET. a Comprehensive, Integrated, and Bottom-Up Approach
    Methodology and Concept Papers No. 1, June 2016 MEDRESET A Comprehensive, Integrated, and Bottom-up Approach Daniela Huber and Maria Cristina Paciello Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) The Project receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for Research and Innovation under grant agreement n 693055. Methodology and Concept Papers No. 1, June 2016 MEDRESET. A Comprehensive, Integrated, and Bottom-up Approach Daniela Huber and Maria Cristina Paciello1 Abstract Euro-Mediterranean policies, as well as research on them, have been characterized by a Euro- centric approach based on a narrow geopolitical construction of the Mediterranean. Moreover, stakeholders, policy instruments, and policy issues have been defined from a European standpoint, marginalizing the perspectives and needs of local states and people, and ignoring the role played by new and powerful regional and global actors. In an increasingly multipolar world, overcoming this Euro-centric approach is key for Europe to play a more meaningful role in the region. Thus, MEDRESET aims to reset our understanding of the Mediterranean and develop alternative visions for a new partnership and corresponding EU policies, reinventing a future role for the EU as an inclusive, flexible, and responsive actor in the region. This will be achieved through an integrated research design which is in three phases: it 1) de-constructs the EU construction of the Mediterranean, 2) counters it by mapping the region on the geopolitical level and in four key policy areas (political ideas, agriculture and water, industry and energy, migration and mobility) alongside a three-dimensional framework (stakeholders, policy instruments, policy issues), which directly feeds into 3) a reconstruction of a new role for the EU, enhancing its ability to exert reflexive leadership and thus its relevance in the region.

  • The Unsolved Murder of Anna Lindh Sweden’S Secretary of State
    The Unsolved Murder of Anna Lindh Sweden’s Secretary of State from the daily blogs of William Shepherd Göteborg, Sweden December 2006 The Unsolved Murder of Anna Lindh by William Shepherd December 2006 The Unsolved Murder of Anna Lindh Sweden’s Secretary of State from the daily blogs of William Shepherd About the Manuscript At the end of 2005 William Shepherd was living in Llangolman fifteen miles inland from Cardigan in Wales. He was to celebrate his 60th birthday in July 2006 and decided it would be a good thing to devote the year to reflecting on his life and work and to take as the literary framework a daily online web journal. The overarching theme of this 2006 blog would be ‘What I Do All Day’. Journal entries were to be one-page long and posted to the internet on the same day they were written. By the end of the year a 500-600 page book would have been written that would be some sort of hybrid between the diaries of a Samuel Pepys or a John Evelyn and the books of autobiography of a Priestley or a Belloc. Quite a challenge. In the summer of 2006 in the middle of his blogging project William Shepherd spent six weeks living in an apartment in Sundbyberg, a suburb of Stockholm. The murder of Anna Lindh in a Stockholm department store had taken place three years previously. Regular trips into the city centre reminded him of her violent death and resulted in sixteen journal entries reflecting on her violent death and the wider implications of these political murders and suicides.

  • Hyllning Som Politisk Kriskommunikation?
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för kommunikation, medier och IT Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Retorik | Vårterminen 2009 Hyllning som politisk kriskommunikation? – En studie av Göran Perssons tal i samband med mordet på utrikesminister Anna Lindh 2003 Av: Linda Egersten Handledare: Nils Ekedahl Hyllning som politisk kriskommunikation? Kandidatuppsats Södertörns högskola Linda Egersten Abstract The objective with this essay is to investigate the sense of importance the epidictic genre genus demonstrativums has in political crisis communication and the objectives were: • How has the genre genus demonstrativum been used as a tool in communication by the Head of the Swedish Government, Göran Persson, when a minister was murdered? • What is Göran Persson´s agenda and in which rhetorical strategies is he trying to create a sense of meaning through this political crisis? • What attitudes is Göran Persson attempting to get the audience to adapt and how does he do that? The base for this essay is four different speeches and the overall method was structural analysis followed by a stylistic-, ideology- and rhetorical analysis. I have built my essay on theories by Elmelund Kjeldsen and Johannesson. This essay shows that the genre genus demonstrativum unites the citizens in a community of crisis. Rather than focusing on the negative aspect of the actual murder, Göran Persson chooses to celebrate the memory of the Minister Anna Lindh as a symbol of democracy. By doing this, Göran Persson managed to create a common feeling of hopefulness. As a result, the political implications declined tremendously. His overall purpose was to increase the number of votes in the upcoming public election.
