Having taken into account the agenda building paradigm and the concept of flame （Entman, 1993; Snow ＆ Benford, 1988）, the topic of immigration is analyzed in the Spanish main newspapers （El Pais ＆ El Mundo） and in the political interventions （Parliamentary Debates）. In order to implement this extraction and framing analysis, the associative method is adopted. The assaults of Ceuta and Melilla （2005） and the Canarias crisis （2006） are taken as the cases of study. The findings of this research highlight that moments of humanitarian crisis and key newsworthy events related to African immigrants increase the media＇s power to introduce the issue of immigration and to have influence on the frames used in the political and public agenda.展开更多

Three basic trends are identified： first, the redefinition of political commtmities by globalization; second, the transformation of communication by electronic media ; and third, the transformation of policy issues by demographic changes. These trends set three broad and interrelated challenges for all political commumties： identity, governance, and sustainability. Each political community responds in its own way to these challenges ; and the task of comparative politics is to understand the distinctive responses to shared problems of adjustment. The study of comparative politics should proceed from a variety of national perspectives in order to globalize its own academic discourse.展开更多
