The nation-state, as the main ‘communicative space’, was a valuable analytical tool to evaluate the era in which communications and media systems stayed within the national borders. Since 1980s, growing ethnic and cultural diversity in societies and cultural expansion of citizenship that critiqued the definitions of a national culture made an ‘intervention’ in the public sphere at the local, national, and global levels. The chapter considers the relationship between media and nation in the European context at a time when a common communicative space was contested by several factors such as immigration, regionalization, advances in new technologies and the growing impact of the EU and UN institutions within global governance. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCultural DiversityGlobal GovernaceGlobalisationHuman RightsBook Part295710.1007/978-3-030-83102-8_22-s2.0-85121687934N/AN/A
