The Prime Minister-Media Nexus

More about the book

The book systematically explores the impact of media on government institutions and the role of prime ministers, specifically focusing on Sweden. It highlights how government communication has become increasingly centralized around the prime minister, driven by the need for uniformity in responding to media demands. This centralization has shifted power dynamics, diminishing the influence of individual ministries and empowering the prime minister's office. The analysis raises critical questions about the implications for democratic governance and the evolving nature of political authority in the media age.
