Introduction

On Saturday, Nov. 29, and Sunday, Nov. 30, we are planning to discuss the papers on the European Public Sphere from a horizontal and a vertical perspective in the seven sections stated below. Each section will have a chair (one person or a team of two) to direct the discussion and eventually sum up the results. Discussants will kick off the discussion by a short critique of the respective paper, before everyone is invited to participate in the debate.

On this site we will collect the summary reports of the respective sessions.
