  • Europe Diary a Long-Term Calendar of European Events for Journalists and Broadcasters
    Te Europe Diary A long-term calendar of European events for journalists and broadcasters. February 2020 onwards Please check entries before broadcast or publication: see contacts at end of Diary. A Brexit Special Edition February 1st UK/EU. At 11pm UK time on January 31st, Britain will have left the EU, the first country to do so since the EEC was established. It will be marked by a light show of red, white and blue on government buildings in London, with a countdown clock projected on to Downing Street. A 'party' in Parliament Square has been organised by Nigel Farage and fellow Brexiteers. Called 'Have Your Cake and Eat It' there will be music and cake. A commemorative 50p coin will be introduced with the words, 'Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations'. Union Jack flags will line Parliament Square and The Mall. Opposition politicians call this celebration inappropriate and divisive gloating. The 'Denied My vote' Campaign will be holding a candlelit vigil. At the Berlaymont in Brussels the UK flag, the Union Jack, will be lowered at midnight with no ceremony. Life will generally carry on the same in the UK as it enters an 11-month 'transition period'. Britain will stay in the Single Market and the Customs Union, and must still obey EU rules, but it will not be represented in the EU Council of Ministers or the European Parliament. EU citizens will still be able to travel to and work in the UK, and British citizens can do the same in EU states. The UK will begin attempting to negotiate a favourable future relationship with its European neighbours.

  • Public Relations and Public Diplomacy of the EU
    Communicating (in) the foreign field European public diplomacy and communication policy on external action Eszter Karoliny PhD student [email protected] University of Pécs, Faculty of Law HUNGARY The European Union and the European Communities have always tried to provide information on their organisation, activities and goals to people both inside and outside their borders. Since 2005, and the failed referenda on the Constitutional Treaty, the EU institutions have recognised the need for a coherent communication policy towards the European citizens as one of the ways to ensure public support for and legitimacy of the European integration project. A significant portion of the information directed at the citizens is about the rapidly developing foreign policy of the EU. The foreign actions – the ‘EU in the world’ – are not only a very important, but also a rather complex subject to communicate to European citizens. Several aspects – e.g. enlargement – are sensitive themes, since the public opinion of the Member States’ citizens can directly influence the feasibility of the European Union’s plans. There is, however, another part of the communication policy that is just as important: the one directed towards the citizens of third countries. This external communication policy – or public diplomacy – complements and facilitates the various types of external actions of the European Union by making them more visible and understandable. This is important for different reasons in the various fields of foreign policy. In my paper, I endeavour to present the current external communication policy of the European Union in the third states it has contact with, and the communication on the external policy itself.

  • IHECS Academy Executive Master in European Communication and Policy
    IHECS Academy Executive Master in European Communication and Policy Master’s Thesis Revitalizing Europe – An EU-branding campaign as a tool to regain public support for the European Union and to overcome its political crisis Volume II – Campaign conceptualization Author: Barbara LIEBSHARDT Supervisor: Nicolas BAYGERT, PhD August 26, 2016 Academic year 2015 - 2016 i Abstract : Building on the findings of the first Volume, this second volume aims to shape and develop the concept of a possible EU-branding campaign. Based on a detailed analysis of the current communication activities of the EU commission and on interviews of European communication experts, this paper proposes a substantial change to current EU-branding efforts. One of the key findings is that European communication especially misses out on creating an emotional attachment between the citizens and the political system of the EU. This paper therefore proposes to apply the Lovemark concept, developed by Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, to a future EU-branding campaign. Using emotions, the EU could become an inspirational brand. Yet, according to the Lovemark concept, this is only possible if the EU-brand respects its brand community, the citizens. Therefore, in the conceptualization process of an EU-branding campaign, the inclusion of citizens will be primordial. Based on the results of an online survey that the author designed for this study, a creative concept proposal will be developed in parallel. Keywords : European Union, EU-branding, communication, marketing, emotion, Kevin Roberts, Lovemark, respect, inclusion, diversity, segmentation, synergies, stakeholder network 2 Table of content 1. Introduction 2. Critical review of the EU communication strategy 2.1.

  • The European Union: 4 Essays for a More Inclusive Europe
    The EuropeanUnion: 4 Essays for a more inclusive Europe 4 Essaysforamoreinclusive foraus-White Paper / April 2019 Programme Europe This “Denkwerkstatt Europa” is a call for paper developed by foraus. The goal was to collect ideas among young experts in European affairs and, subsequently, to help them upgrading their ideas into full policy proposals within a think tank paper. Faced with series of crisis, not least the departure of the UK and the rise of populism in countries such as Hungary, Poland and Italy, the EU currently stands at a crossroad. There is a need to re-energize the European integration project and, importantly, to make it more legitimate in the eyes of the EU citizens. With the upcoming European elections of 2019, it is time for think tanks and member of the civil society to think Preface outside the box and present some new ideas to EU decision makers. The following contributions contain proposals that address the issue of the democratic deficit of the EU. Combining their experience and different perspectives as European citizens, the authors of the following papers went through a long process of reflection. Eventually, they elaborated several original proposals to reduce the democratic deficit. Far from adopting a utopian perspective, the authors provide us with practicable solutions that would not necessitate any treaty change and that could be easily put into place if decided. The last paper reflects upon another subject: EU defence. In the current context, French and the German leaders make pleas for the constitution of a European army and thus, the topic is very timely.
