Abstract

It is not surprising that a conference on Europe takes place in America. Five hundred years after the Europeans discovered and began to form a “new world” in America, they set out to re-discover their “old world” at home. Will the European Union develop into a ever closer union or even a United States of Europe? Will it transform or even overcome the traditional nation-state? Only the future will provide definite answers. Nevertheless, certain trends of further development can be inferred from the present and past state of the Union. This paper focuses on a limited but critical aspects of European development that may be called the cultural dimension and in particular, the role of the media in the European integration. The aim is to follow the evolution of cultural and media policy in the EU through a combination of conceptual and policy analysis and its participation to the construction of a European identity. France serves as case study, an example of the national vs. the European.
