The Prime Minister-Media Nexus

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the impact of media on government operations and the role of prime ministers, focusing on Sweden as a case study. It examines how media has led to the centralization of government communication, empowering the prime minister at the expense of individual ministries. The author argues that this shift was driven by necessity rather than choice, as governments strive for uniform responses to media demands. This centralization raises critical questions about the dynamics of political power and the implications for democratic governance in contemporary society.
