Reporting the Middle East : challenges and chances
Numerous studies address the flow of information between nations and states -- especially in the era of globalization -- and its contribution to the development of relations across physical borders. By contrast, little attention has been paid to the circumstances under which parties in conflict initiate and build barriers to free flow of information. The conflict in the Middle East may serve as a test bed of controlled disruption of information flow, as covered in Reporting the Middle East: Challenges and Chances. Two parallel types of confrontations appear to take place in the Middle East: the actual physical conflict, and the \"war of words,\" conducted via the media, with each side firing its own verbal missiles. Reporting the Middle East: Challenges and Chances aims to show that the media arena is a key element in understanding the Middle East conflict. Media coverage of Middle Eastern affairs remains critical, if only because of its power in determining sources of information, setting decision makers' agendas, and influencing management of the physical confrontation.

Syria, Press Framing, and the Responsibility to Protect
The Syrian Civil War has created the worst humanitarian disaster since the end of World War II, sending shock waves through Syria, its neighbours, and the European Union. Calls for the international community to intervene in the conflict, in compliance with the UN-sanctioned Responsibility to Protect (R2P), occurred from the outset and became even more pronounced following President Assad's use of chemical weapons against civilians in August 2013. Despite that egregious breach of international convention, no humanitarian intervention was forthcoming, leaving critics to argue that UN inertia early in the conflict contributed to the current crisis
Syria, Press Framing, and The Responsibility to Protect examines the role of the media in framing the Syrian conflict, their role in promoting or, on the contrary, discouraging a robust international intervention. The media sources examined are all considered influential with respect to the shaping of elite views, either directly on political leaders or indirectly through their influence on public opinion. The volume provides a review of the arguments concerning appropriate international responses to events in Syria and how they were framed in leading newspapers in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada during the crucial early years of the conflict; considers how such media counsel affected the domestic contexts in which American and British decisions were made not to launch forceful interventions following Assad's use of sarin gas in 2013; and offers reasoned speculation on the relevance of R2P in future humanitarian crises in light of the failure to protect Syrian civilians.

Die Legitimierung des deutschen Syrien-Einsatzes
Biographical note: In den Tagen nach den Anschlägen in Paris am 13. November 2015 beherrschte vor allem Angst die europäische Politik. Die Versammlungsrechte in Frankreich wurden kurzweilig ausgesetzt und auch im Rest Europas wurden die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen verschärft. Der Deutsche Bundestag entschied, Frankreich im Kampf gegen den selbsternannten „Islamischen Staat“ in Syrien zu unterstützen. Dieser dritte offensive Einsatz der Bundeswehr wurde innerhalb kürzester Zeit durchs Parlament gebracht. Mit Hilfe einer Argumentationsanalyse zeigt das Buch auf, mit welchen Begründungen der Einsatz in Politik und Massenmedien legitimiert wurde. Der zivilgesellschaftliche Protest blieb aus und lässt die Frage zurück, was aus pazifistischen Wertvorstellungen geworden ist. Gina Hoffmann wurde 1991 in Saalfeld/Saale geboren. Sie studierte Angewandte Medienwissenschaften an der Technischen Universität Ilmenau. Den Masterabschluss erlangte sie 2017 an der Universität Erfurt im Studiengang Kommunikationsforschung: Politik und Gesellschaft, mit dem Schwerpunkt Politik.
