Description

This project advances the existing theoretical work on the CNN effect, a claim that innovations in the speed and quality of technology create conditions in which the media can act as an independent factor influencing governments, the military and the public. Examining Western media and government activity relating to Kosovo, it provides a novel interpretation of the factors that drove Western policy towards military intervention in this region.
