About to the JMECE LAB newsletter:
JMECELAB newsletter is produced by postgraduates researching the European Union. It reflects a particular interest in EU media policies, European identity (from the perspective of individual people in the EU states, and its international identity) and how these identities are mediated by printed and electronic media. Other areas of particular interest include EU egovernance, EU reform, security and diplomacy, EU multilateralism and trade as exemplified by EU-China relations, climate change and socio-legal developments. We welcome articles from readers in the region and around the world on any aspect of EU affairs, EU research, academic events and policy initiatives.
