The methodology that is used to assess the primary question (What is the impact of globalization on war?) involves the utilisation of one manifestation of globalization - the CNN effect - that is operationalised to assess one area of potential impact - Western foreign policy during the Kosovo civil war. The dissertation is arranged into two sections. The first is largely theoretical and defines globalization, explains how the CNN effect is a manifestation of globalization and reviews the CNN effect on war at a theoretical level. The second is largely empirical and involves a detailed case study of Kosovo specific media coverage and foreign policy in the West over the fifteen-month period before the 1999 NATO intervention. The employment of this particular case study opens other areas of potential insight that are also explored in this dissertation. The first relates to foreign policy making and how the CNN effect has impacted its traditional role and operation. The second relates to the specific case study itself and the role of the Western media in NATO’s decision to intervene in Kosovo and the specific events that led to this decision. If it were demonstrated that the CNN effect did indeed play a role in this intervention, this would be a useful interpretive addition to the current analysis of this particular conflict. In addressing these questions, it is also hoped that a more detailed understanding of the nature of globalization itself emerges. As theory should develop from practice, and not the other way around, it is only through attempts to apply abstract and novel concepts such as globalization to practice that current attempts at theorising can improve. 3 Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -

  • Kosovo - a Missed Opportunity for a Peaceful Solution to the Conflict?
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 1999, Baden-Baden 2000, pp. 79-90. Heinz Loquai Kosovo - A Missed Opportunity for a Peaceful Solution to the Conflict? The Kosovo Verification Mission was a big challenge for the OSCE - the most difficult operational task that it has had to deal with since its founding. Linked to this Mission was the hope for a peaceful solution of the Kosovo conflict. Did it have any chance at all of meeting the expectations attached to it? Was the use of military force in the final analysis inevitable in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe? This article undertakes to provide answers to these questions. Of course it represents no more than an initial effort, written mainly from an OSCE per- spective. There must be further studies if we are to have a full picture of the development of this conflict. The Holbrooke-Milošević Agreement Background For a long time the Kosovo conflict stood in the shadow of the war in Bos- nia-Herzegovina. It was not dealt with in the Dayton Peace Agreement of 14 December 1995 because at that time it was not yet so virulent, no quick solu- tion seemed possible and any attempt at one would have put at risk the urgent ending of the Bosnian war. Resistance on the part of the Kosovo Albanians against Serbia's policy of op- pression, for a long time peaceful, had enjoyed no success. At the beginning of 1998, the "Kosovo Liberation Army" (KLA, also known as UCK) began to carry out attacks against Serbian security forces and civilians and against Al- banian "collaborators".

  • A Diplomatic History of the 1998–99 Kosovo Conflict
    FROM DAYTON TO ALLIED FORCE: A DIPLOMATIC HISTORY OF THE 1998–99 KOSOVO CONFLICT by Christian Novak A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2017 ii I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree iii Abstract This thesis reconstructs the diplomatic response of the international community to the Kosovo conflict of 1998–99. It outlines the process which resulted in the failure of negotiations involving outside agencies and individuals as well as the recourse to air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Using primary sourced material from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, personal interviews and other carefully selected primary sources, this thesis explores why international attempts to find a negotiated solution failed. iv Acknowledgements Numerous people have assisted in the completion of this thesis. I would firstly like to acknowledge my research supervisor, Professor Glenda Sluga, for her guidance over the years. My gratitude is also extended to John Drewienkiewicz, Josef Janning, Richard Miles, Klaus Naumann, and Lord David Owen, all of whom took out time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. In particular, I wish to thank Wolfgang Petritsch. His accessibility and willingness to explain the events of 1998–99 considerably enhanced my own understanding of the crisis. Special thanks is reserved for my parents, Anne and David, who have gone above and beyond to support me.

  • The CNN Effect: the Search for a Communication Theory of International Relations
    Political Communication, 22:27-44 |"% Dr)ijt|pr|QP Copyright © 2005 Taylor & Francis Inc. icf '^7 . ' ^ ISSN: 1058-4609 print / 1091-7675 online SV Taylor & Francs Croup DOI: 10.1080/10584600590908429 The CNN Effect: The Search for a Communication Theory of International Relations EYTAN GILBOA This study investigates the decade long effort to construct and validate a communi- cations theory of international relations that asserts that global television networks, such as CNN and BBC Worid, have become a decisive actor in determining policies and outcomes of significant events. It systematically and critically analyzes major works published on this theory, known also as the CNN effect, both in professional and academic outlets. These publications include theoretical and comparative works, specific case studies, and even new paradigms. The study reveals an ongoing debate on the validity of this theory and concludes that studies have yet to present sufficient evidence validating the CNN effect, that many works have exaggerated this effect, and that the focus on this theory has deflected attention from other ways giobai television affects mass communication, joumalism, and intemational relations. The article also proposes a new agenda for research on the various effects of global television networks. Keywords CNN effect, communication technologies, foreign policymaking, global communication, humanitarian intervention, intemational conflict, paradigms, televi- sion news, U.S. foreign policy The Second World War created for the first time in history a truly global intemational system. Events in one region affect events elsewhere and therefore are of interest to states in other, even distant places. At the beginning of the 1980s, innovations in com- munication technologies and the vision of Ted Turner produced CNN, the first global news network (Whittemore, 1990).

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: JAPANESE and US MEDIA COVERAGE of the IRAQ
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: JAPANESE AND U.S. MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE IRAQ WAR: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Kazuhiro Maeshima, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Professor Miranda Schreurs, Department of Government and Politics This study investigates the relationship between the media and politics by analyzing the Iraq War coverage of two leading U.S. and Japanese newspapers: the New York Times and the Asahi. This dissertation reveals that these two print media, although both liberal in their general orientation, treated the Iraq War differently. First, it quantitatively finds that they are quite distinctive in their choice of main topics. During the run-up period to the war, the Asahi put more focus on the role of the United Nations while the majority of the stories appearing in the New York Times addressed U.S. decisions about Iraq. Second, the dissertation’s qualitative analysis of editorials reveals that a different emphasis on who the “evil” doers in the war are. While the New York Times treated the oppressive Saddam Hussein regime and terrorists as the “evildoers,” the Asahi portrayed the U.S. as the big evil doer. Further, content analysis of articles written by embedded journalists who were with coalition forces in Iraq revealed that the two newspapers’ articles showed significant disparities in the degree of sympathy they showed to the forces. Numerous background factors have influenced this media content. Interviews with Japanese journalists and scholars revealed that the cultures of anti-militarism held by Japanese that originated from Japan’s defeat in World War II remain firm within Japanese news organizations.

By analyzing the theoretical framework of media – state relations and conducting a research in the archives of two mainstream Greek and two mainstream Turkish newspapers in three different cases, which show different aspects of the bilateral relations of the two countries, this study seeks to find if influence on foreign policy formulation, regarding the relations of the two countries, can be traced and explained. The issues of pressure by the media, current situation of media companies in Greece and Turkey, and similarities, as well as differences between the functioning of these companies and their relation to the state, are also met. Key Words: Greek – Turkish relations, foreign policy formulation, media, influence Özet Bu tez, medya ve dış politika yapımı arasındaki ilişki bağlamında 2004-2011 yılları arasındaki dönemde Türk-Yunanilişkilerinde dış politikan oluşturulması sürecini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Namely CNN, BBC and Al-Jazeera are increasing people’s awareness in their religion, culture and place in the world. In addition, faster and easily accessible information within global media had triggered the information wars among the states which have changed power politics. This article argues that the involvement of the media in international relations signifies interdependence and mutual exploitation between the media and politics. In this context, with a specific emphasise on the concept of ‘the CNN effect’ and ‘the Al-Jazeere effect’, it shows how the media have become integral parts of the world politics, how they have transformed international power struggle and have enabled the rise of the rest against the Western hegemony Keywords: media; international politics; CNN effect; Al-Jazeere Effect Introduction Despite media’s unquestioned importance in the conduct of international affairs, it seems that the Studies of International Relations (IR) still fail to address the issue adequately and comprehensively,
