priorities in global Media Policy transfer audiovisual and digital Policy mutations in the eu mercosur and us triangle
European Journal of Communication, 2014Co-Authors: Katharine Sarikakis, Sarah Anne GanterAbstract:This article investigates the flow of communication Policy principles across the supranational, international and national levels, through the lens of Policy transfer. Policy transfer is a new concept for the field of Media and communication studies. The article utilizes and expands on the concept to study the case of digital Policy flows between leading regional powers, the EU and USA and MERCOSUR. The article argues that EU and US Policy priorities are reflected in the Latin American Policy framework, which shifts from a focus on audiovisual and culture-centred objectives to the digital economy paradigm. MERCOSUR then functions as a Policy broker between ‘outside’ interests and those of its member states through the influence of international key players whose interests clash with those of regional goals.

Climate change: thinking small islands beyond Small Island Developing States (SIDS)
Climatic Change, 2019Co-Authors: Jan Petzold, Alexandre K. MagnanAbstract:Sea level rise and extreme weather events threaten the livelihoods and possibly the long-term existence of whole island nations. While the Media, Policy, and often scientific arenas essentially focus their attention on Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which are widely recognised as hotspots of global climate change, the situation of the numerous other vulnerable island territories has been relatively neglected. As a result, the focus on SIDS has paved the way for mainstream adaptation research and, in turn, for biases in the interpretation of climate change vulnerability and risks of small islands in general. Here, we argue that such an overly narrow scope severely limits our understanding of island-specific issues that influence island societies’ adaptability to on-going and future climate change. This article reviews the current perspective on challenges and opportunities for climate change adaptation on SIDS and compares it with other types of island territories, especially dependent islands of continental states and semi-autonomous sub-national island jurisdictions (SNIJ). This comparison reveals that despite critical socio-political differences between the respective island types, more general lessons can be learned as island territories at large face similar issues both regarding the drivers of vulnerability and exposure and the adaptation measures needed. We propose an analytical framework for looking ‘beyond SIDS’ that includes the recognition of critical issues (asymmetrical governance structures, archipelagic constellations, inter-island connections) that shape island societies’ vulnerability and leeway for adaptation to climate-related hazards.

Policy streams and public service Media funding reforms in germany and finland
European Journal of Communication, 2014Co-Authors: Christian Herzog, Kari KarppinenAbstract:On 1 January 2013, Germany and Finland made the switch from the traditional broadcasting licence fee tied to television-set ownership to a compulsory excise duty collected from all citizens, households and places of business. This article compares the changes in these countries’ public service Media funding arrangements on the basis of John Kingdon’s ‘multiple streams’ framework of public Policy-making which, to date, has been rather neglected in studies of Media Policy-making processes. Drawing on the analysis of Policy documents and interviews with Policymakers and other stakeholders involved in the respective processes, we investigate how the actual reforms materialized, which other possibilities were neglected and why this has been the case.
