C. Nitoiu & Kenneth A. Loparo 
The EU Foreign Policy Analysis 
Democratic Legitimacy, Media, and Climate Change

The book presents a model of interaction effects between policymakers and the media which can shed light on the former’s ability to enhance democratic legitimacy in foreign policy decision-making. It shows that the media enhanced the democratic legitimacy of the EU’s foreign policy in relation to its climate policy and its approach towards Russia.
