Pegida under closer scrutiny: the rise of a pan-European movement

This book will give a close examination of Pegida, the refugee crisis and the EU in relation with German media. Furthermore, the position of these media towards the Dresden-based movement will be scrutinised and investigated to what extent the former affects the latter. Finally, this book concludes with the following research question: How can Pegida's evolvement be explained best and to what extent have Bild and Süddeutsche Zeitung contributed to or hampered the rise of the movement?
