Abstract

... The present paper attempts to provide some preliminary answers to these questions by focusing, firstly on the development of media attention devoted to these two governing modes, and, secondly, on how critical recommendations coming out of the peer review process are reflected in publicized debates. As empirical evidence we use the results of content analysis of quality broadsheets in three selected member states as well as standardized interviews that have been conducted with practitioners who are closely involved in the communication of these policies, either on the side of the media or on the side of governmental and institutional bodies. The present paper draws also on the two rounds of national reports drawn up by national experts from ten EU member states. Despite this rather broad empirical base, further research in both depth and breadth is necessary; and the midterm results should be regarded as preliminary.
