"French media aid diplomacy. History and structure of a foreign policy instrument".

Doctoral workshop, Wednesday 8 December 20213pm-4.30pm, EPS
Simon Mangon presents a chapter from his thesis
Discussed by Audrey Freyermuth

 Summary: This chapter contributes to research on the making of public diplomacy and development aid, taking the case of French policy on support for foreign media. After presenting the international field of media aid and several case studies of European organisations, I identify the specificities of the French space.
I begin by analysing the history and structure of French aid to the media, from its beginnings under the colonial Empire to its formalisation through an agency (CFI) at the beginning of the 21st century. This historical review outlines the features of a centralised policy linked to French diplomacy. However, while the media is considered a strategic tool for exerting influence outside national borders, it remains marginal within the French diplomatic apparatus. Media aid policy operates within a relatively vague and flexible framework in which intermediaries play a crucial role. Finally, the recent process of agencification of French external action has helped to create a situation of virtual monopoly in the sector. The predominant position taken by this MEAE agency has resulted in the marginalisation of other French structures (NGOs, journalism schools), which cultivate different visions of media aid.
