Abstract:

This paper is part of an ongoing research project aimed at providing more insights into the transatlantic rift over the use of force in the Iraq crisis, namely a better understanding of the reasons why the issue of the resort to military force against the Iraqi threat led progressively to strong disagreements among the American and European political leaders and the American and European publics about the efficacy and legitimacy of the use of force, particularly to strong anti-American and anti-European feelings. The project aims also at providing more insights into the role that media may play in the public perception and support of the United States and European Union as security actors. In order to attain such aims, the project investigates the interplay of the elite discourse with media and public opinion in the United States and in two European countries (France and Italy) that are still neglected in the literature on the media coverage of the Iraq crisis. The main argument is that, while there might be a synchronization in the focus of the external strategic events covered by the news media across the United States and Europe, there might be also important differences in the amount of media coverage of the crisis and in the news media debates, rooted in specific political-institutional as strategic-cultural contexts. Furthermore, while it is clear that public opinion and media may influence the decision-making process in foreign policy, their role is not systematic, but dynamic.
