<div>ABOUT MECODEM: <br>
</div>
<span>MeCoDEM was a three-year research project that ran from 1 February 2014 until 31 January 2017. The project investigated the interplay of communication and democratisation conflicts in four countries, Egypt, Kenya, Serbia and South Africa, each of them
representing unique aspects of transitional / post-transitional divisions. Based on a comparative case study design, the research covers constitutional conflicts, civic conflicts and conflicts surrounding accountability and good governance. These conflicts
constitute arenas of dispute where the media interact with the communicative strategies of governments on the one hand, and political activists and political movements struggling for recognition on the other. MeCoDEM was funded by the European Union within
the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme. With a budget of 2.2 million Euros, the project consortium included eight partner institutions from six countries: University of Leeds (coordinating institution), University of Belgrade, University of Hamburg, University
of Cape Town, University of Oxford, Stockholm University, Ruhr University Bochum and American University in Cairo.
