Abstract

This contribution discusses multi-level governance (MLG) as theoretical-analytical concept, a normative positioning, a system adopted by decision-makers and an empirical reality, and applies it to a case of governance in media and communication. It provides a brief overview of the history and main components of the concept of MLG, situating it in institutionalist, functionalist and post-functionalist approaches to governance. Next, it considers MLG as three-dimensional, intertwining polity (state restructuring), politics (political mobilization) and policy (policymaking). It also evaluates to what extent MLG as an explanatory framework requires additional concepts of policymaking and governance to fully capture how it works with regards to media and communication. This is followed by a case study on the inclusion of the signal integrity principle in the EU’s revised AVMSD to illustrate how MLG works in the field of media and communication governance.
