Discourses of Global Climate Change

Apocalyptic framing and political antagonisms

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates the media's role in the creation of dominant discourses on climate change and examines the arguments made by political actors in the mass media arena. Using in-depth empirical research of Sweden, a country considered by the international political community to be a frontrunner in tackling climate change, the book analyses the worldwide climate change debate. This highly original and detailed study focuses on opinion leaders and the way discourses are framed in the climate change debate, making it valuable reading for students and scholars of environmental communication and media as well environmental policy and politics.
