SUMMARY:Can the Press Be an Actor in International Relations? Towards a Theory of Media Agency in Conflict Settings.
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Can the press become an actor in International Relations rather than merely an observer of them? </strong><span>IR theory has long overlooked the press as an autonomous participant in the international system. While non-governmental organizations, multinational corporations, and international institutions are routinely analyzed as non-state actors, media organizations tend to appear only as background conditions shaping diplomacy rather than agents within it.</span></p><p><strong>If diplomacy involves struggles over legitimacy, visibility, and influence across borders, what happens when institutions capable of shaping public narratives enter that arena? </strong><span>This talk proposes a conceptual shift by introducing the Media–Diplomatic Triangulation Framework, a theoretical model that identifies the conditions under which a media institution moves from reporting international events to actively intervening in them.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="4aa846a8-f775-43df-9fc5-5c4f4a7474f9" data-align="center" data-view-mode="hwp_medium">&nbsp;</drupal-media><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Speaker: Teresa Martín </strong><span>| PhD Candidate in International Relations </span><strong>Complutense University of Madrid: </strong><span>Department of International Relations and Global History</span></p><p><strong>Harvard University: </strong><span>The Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights</span></p>
