Opinión Pública y frames: La crisis de los cayucos
- Rodríguez Díaz, Raquel; Mena Montes, Noemí
El aumento de extranjeros en España se ha convertido en uno de los temas más problemáticos para la opinión pública en la última década. A partir del año 2005, se observa cómo la inmigración pasa a ser el segundo problema en grado de importancia para los españoles, por encima del terrorismo y superado sólo por el desempleo. Este dato convierte a la inmigración en un tema de Estado, central para el gobierno del país, de ahí que la cobertura ofrecida por los medios de comunicación se contemple como un elemento destacado a la hora de enfocar y presentar este asunto...

La opinión pública y los imaginarios sociales: hacia una redefinición de la espiral del silencio
- Dittus, Rubén
El artículo desarrolla un análisis crítico de la teoría de opinión pública conocida como la espiral del silencio. Según el autor, afirmar que el ser humano biológicamente quiere ser aceptado y teme el rechazo de sus pares tiene una connotación esencialista. La autoprotección social que reflejaría el denominado miedo al aislamiento es sólo una reacción institucional, apoyada por los medios de comunicación como recreadores simbólicos de la realidad y por las emociones que actúan como dispositivos de control social. En otras palabras, la opinión pública no es más que un imaginario social, al igual que las emociones o la noticia,...

Opinión pública, participación ciudadana y política de cooperación en España.
- Angulo, Gloria
In the current globalized world it is increasingly difficult to ignore the extreme poverty that affects millions of people. Global inequalities or aid policies promoted by rich governments have become more familiar to public opinion from developed societies. Nevertheless, it is not easy to understand what citizens really know about these issues o how they perceive their government¿s efforts to help the poorest. Even more, after two decades of public support to development cooperation, it is
worth questioning if public opinion influences aid policies, just as opinions on other spheres condition policy makers¿ decisions. This work presents the current state of...

¿Es posible activar la conciencia ciudadana por medio de la opinión pública a través de los mass media?
- Abreu Sojo, Iván
Los medios de comunicación social pueden ser utilizados para distintos fines, uno de los cuales sería el provocar efectos deliberados, de acuerdo con metas preestablecidas. En una sociedad en crisis como la venezolana, se ha planteado la necesidad de redefinir una ética pública y unos valores sociales de acuerdo con una visión sobre le necesidad de una más activa conciencia ciudadana. En esta ponencia se presentan aspectos relevantes para esa discusión: el concepto de opinión pública, los problemas relativos a tal concepto, los enfoques normativos sobre los medios de comunicación y los efectos de estos medios, concluyéndose en los peligros...

The impact of public opinion on environmental policy: a cross-national investigation
- Weaver, Alicia A
This dissertation investigates the extent to which public opinion plays a role in the development of public policy in the environmental policy realm. Using data from cross-national public opinion polls, I elaborate on the link between public concern for the environment and the implementation of specific environmental policy measures. This research is focused on an elaboration of the particular circumstances under which public opinion directly impacts policy, and a consideration of the causal mechanisms that may shape this link. The analysis progresses in several stages. First, I examine correlations between established indicators of public opinion on the environment and demonstrate...

The effect of education and media coverage on public opinion of the Supreme Court and Congress
- Outwater, Mary Elizabeth
In survey after survey Americans have been found to approve of the United States Supreme Court more than they approve of the United States Congress. This trend persists despite the fact that Congress is an elected body, giving the people more control over it, and the Supreme Court consists of nine justices appointed to their positions for life terms. In this study I examine two factors which explain part of the reason for this difference in public opinion-educational experiences and media coverage. Civics classes are an important source of political information for Americans and help form the basis of many...

"European Integration, Public Opinion and Immigration Policy: Testing the Impact of National Identity"
- Luedtke, Adam.
This paper empirically tests the theory that national identity causes opposition to EU control over immigration policy. The EU has been gaining more control over immigration policy in recent years, but this has been a controversial, uneven, and politically sensitive process as many member states are reluctant to cede control over this area of policy. What accounts for member state opposition to EU control over immigration? This paper argues that public opinion in the member states is important in explaining such oppostion and proposes a theory of national identity to explain this public opinion, arguing that those who identify with...

European Public Opinion and Turkey's Accession: Making Sense of Arguments For and Against. EPIN Working Paper, No. 16, 3 May 2007
- Ruiz-Jiménez, Antonia M.,; Torreblanca, José I.
Turkeys accession to the European Union is one of the most controversial and divisive topics the EU faces. Both EU governments and citizens are deeply divided on whether Turkey should become a member or not. This paper takes an in-depth look at European citizens attitudes towards Turkeys accession to the EU and explains which elements are key in determining support for or opposition to Turkish membership. We use new data, derived from the new questions measuring citizens attitudes towards Turkey that have recently been introduced in Eurobarometer questionnaires. We prove that views for and against Turkish membership are multidimensional and...

Where is the transatlantic divide in public opinion on climate change issues? Evidence for 1989-2002. CEPS Policy Brief No. 35, July 2003
- Brewer, Thomas.
This paper is based on an analysis of the results of more than 40 public opinion surveys taken during the period from 1989 through 2002; special attention is given to surveys taken during 2000-02. The analysis concludes that approximately two-fifths of the public are seriously concerned about global warming. Another two-fifths are moderately concerned; shifts in the opinions of this moderately concerned group would likely alter the future course of government policies. The other one-fifth of the public does not consider global warming much of a problem, does not worry about it very much or not at all, and does...

Reconfiguraciones comunicativas de lo público
- Martín-Barbero, Jesús
El autor parte de los conocimientos de los estudios internacionales más importantes que se han hecho sobre espacio público, comunicación política y opinión pública. De una forma especial, se basa en la teoría normativa de Jürgen Habermas. Con este bagage se plantea el caso muy particular de la democracia en America Latina. Las dificultades que ha sufrido históricamente la implantación de la democracia en este ámbito geográfico y cultural, cree que se deben ir a buscar en la debilidad de la sociedad civil de los diferentes países del subcontinente, más que ern la perversidad de sus oligarquías y ejércitos. El...

The ecology of public opinion environments and the evolution of organisation-activist relationship: a comparative case study of Australia's major banks, 1981-2001.
- Dougall, Elizabeth Kathleen
The premise that the continued existence of organisations in a democracy depends on both the tacit and the explicit approval and opinions of their many publics is fundamental to public relations theory. Furthermore, the challenge of coping with the potential constraints and opportunities of public opinion as an aspect of the organisational environment is essential to contemporary public relations practice. While the term "public opinion environment" appears intermittently in scholarly and trade publications, the dimensions and characteristics of this aspect of organisational environments remain largely unspecified. This thesis explores two challenges--the first is to conceptualise and measure variation in an...

En ese sentido, las presentes páginas son fuertemente tributarias de otro estudio...
