Media Representations of Anti-Austerity Protests in the EU This book analyses constructions of injustice, group identi icat ion and participation in news and social media in anti-austerity protests within the European Union (EU). Since 2008, EU member-states have witnessed waves of protests and demonstrations against the adoption of austerity measures and alignment of domestic economies with the prevailing global neo-liberal order. Understanding how the media re- presents dissent and how it inluences public deliberation is of critical importance. It is accordingly necessary to explore the strategies deployed and role played by news and social media in representing and perhaps acting upon anti-austerity protests in the Eurozone crisis. This volume undertakes such a critical exploration. Tao Papaioannou is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Communications at the University of Nicosia, Cyprus.
