The purpose of this thesis is to examine British foreign policy-making towards the armedconflict that broke out in former Yugoslavia in June 1991, focusing on the role of themedia as a domestic variable in the foreign policy-making process. After the end of theCold War, British foreign policy-making was faced with a set of changing variables on theinternational level and attempted to adjust policy to them. This thesis, using the theoreticalbasis provided by Foreign Policy Analysis on the role of the media - in our case,representative samples of the British press and electronic media - as a domestic input inthe foreign policy-making process, examines the various aspects of British policy towardsthe dissolution of former Yugoslavia as it attempted to reconcile the demands made by theinternational and domestic environment. Focusing on the issues of recognition of thebreakaway republics of Slovenia and Croatia and armed intervention by the internationalcommunity, which determined to a large extent the policy that would be followed byBritain and the EC/EU in the later stages of the Yugoslav conflict, this thesis argues thatthe influence of the media was not as great as has been often assumed, especially bypolicy-makers themselves. Looking at the conditions under which media influence can bemaximised, it will be argued that these conditions were not present during the periodunder examination. Instead, British policy was formulated taking mainly into accountstronger domestic and international concerns. However, the main traits that characterisemedia coverage of the first six months of the conflict, leading to the recognition ofSlovenia and Croatia, are important on their own account, as they set the stage for theintensive coverage of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where conditions for mediainfluence were maximised.
