Communication Rights, Democracy and Legitimacy

Focusing on the intersection of communication rights and democratic legitimacy, this work explores their significance within the context of the European Union. It begins with a historical overview of communication rights and their evolution in international discourse. The book argues for the recognition of these rights as vital for European citizens, linking them to the legitimacy of supranational governance. It identifies key EU policies affecting communication rights and provides an in-depth analysis of the right to access information through two case studies.
