M.A. March 2006. Communication Studies History and Development of the Communication Regulatory Agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1998 – 2005 (247 pp.) Director of Thesis: Gregory Newton During the war against Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) over 250,000 people were killed, and countless others were injured and lost loved ones. Almost half of the B&H population was forced from their homes. The ethnic map of the country was changed drastically and overall damage was estimated at US $100 billion. Experts agree that misuse of the media was largely responsible for the events that triggered the war and kept it going despite all attempts at peace. This study examines and follows the efforts of the international community to regulate the broadcast media environment in postwar B&H. One of the greatest challenges for the international community in B&H was the elimination of hate language in the media. There was constant resistance from the local ethnocentric political parties in the establishment of the independent media regulatory body and implementation of new standards.

  • Transnational Party Political Actors:The Difficulties of Seeking a Role and Significance
    『日本EU学 会 年 報 』 第26号, pp.63-83平 成18年 Transnational party political actors:the difficulties of seeking a role and significance Stephen DAY 1.0. Introduction The goal of this paper is to highlight the possibilities and difficulties associated with establishing transnational party political actors as key players at the transnational level. In so doing, its primary focus will be upon the European Political Parties (henceforth Euro-parties) which have sought, and continue to seek, to play such a role. Reference will also be made to the global Party Internationals (Pls), which despite having a longer history remain far less developed, as a way of highlighting a plethora of organizational difficulties faced by such bodies. Justification for the study of such entities can be gleamed from many sources. In 2000, for example, the Commission Green Paper on European Governance claimed that in the face of globalization new modes of governance were needed in order to rectify public issues of concern. From their perspective while events were shifting '•c towards an international/supranational space not governed by the traditional forms of democracy' the consciousness of the European public remained'•cgrounded in political mythology of national sovereignty and parliamentary democracy.' Was this a clarion call for political parties beyond the state ? Could such parties give substance to democracy and representation at the transnational level and replicate what political parties had done at the national level a la E. E. Schatt- schneider:'political parties created democracy and modern democracy is 63 『日本EU学 会 年 報 』 第26号,平 成18年9月 unthinkable save in terms of parties' ? Although the subsequent 2001 Laeken Declaration pinned its hopes, primarily, on a transnational network of civil society it also argued that there was a role for the Euro-parties to play.

Newropeans core message National parties and politicians handed over power to European bureaucrats and non-elected politicians. They did little to enforce European democracy and made no serious effort to empower European citizens. This alone is reason enough not to vote for national parties in 2009. But there are - 3 - more reasons to vote for Newropeans. Newropeans is a truly European party and starts were national political parties stop: by devising European solutions to European problems. Newropeans in the European Parliament will innovate and radically change European political cooperation. For Newropeans this is the key to European democracy and citizenship. Newropeans is the first trans-European political party. And is the first political party which will propose candidates for the 2009 European Parliamentary elections in different European countries.

  • Facts About the European Parliament Elections 2009
    European Parliament Elections BRIEFING PAPER 1 Facts about the European Parliament Elections 2009 When are the Elections? The European Parliament Elections take place over a period of 4 days from 4 to 7 June 2009. This will be the 7th time that the European Parliament is directly elected by the citizens of Europe. This will be the largest ever transnational democratic election in history, electing over 700 Members of the European Parliament to represent some 515 million EU citizens 1. The reason that there is a period of 4 days for these elections (as has been the case in previous European Parliament Elections) is that different countries vote on different days of the week. In some countries the European Parliament Elections will be taking place at the same time as other elections; so you may be voting for your Members of the European Parliament and other things (such as local Councillors, regional representatives or, as in one case, possibly a referendum on a national issue). How are the Members of the European Parliament elected? Originally back in 1957 when the European Union (which was then called the European Economic Community) was founded, the members of the European Parliament were appointed by the national parliaments. But the founding treaty (called the Treaty of Rome) did make provision for direct elections and the first time such direct elections took place was 1979. The Maastricht Treaty, agreed in 1992, provides for a uniform procedure to be adopted for the elections in all Member States. The European Parliament was charged with drawing up proposals for this and this was to be agreed by the Council on the basis of unanimity.
