Expansion to the East, Expansion to the West

Description

The purpose of the DIOSCURI project is to study the dynamics of cultural exchange in the field of economics between Eastern and Western Europe. The main research objectives include identifying the main types of cultural contacts between the European "East" and the "West" in the post-enlargement period, identifying the main obstacles to intercultural communication and strategies for overcoming these obstacles, and describing the areas in which the new EU Member States can contribute to revitalising the economic culture of the EU. The DIOSCURI project addressed three areas: economic culture (Field 1), organisational climate (Field 2) and knowledge and competence transfer (Field 3). The main research question is "To what extent are the new hybrid cultural patterns created in Eastern Europe compatible or incompatible with the prevailing Western cultural patterns?" The research was conducted in nine European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, and Slovenia. This collection covers only materials collected in Slovenia, for other countries see http://www.dioscuriproject.net/. In the Slovenian survey, two research methods were used - a personal interview (RM1) and a content analysis - which was done specifically for the EU (RM2_F1) and for multinationals (RM2_F2). Analysis of "EU" content (RM2_F1): The topic of the analysis is the presentation of Slovenia's accession negotiations with the EU and their outcome between 1998 and 2004. The data include the extent of coverage of this topic, Slovenian and European actors in the accession negotiations, their attitude and relations between them, content areas, presented problems, fears, optimism, as well as the political use of negotiations by Slovenian political parties. The results of the analysis show the diversity of actors on the Slovenian side and on the European Commission as practically the only relevant actor on the European side, the gradual decrease in tensions in negotiations and the relatively low level of use of negotiations in party-political confrontations, which was allegedly mainly due to the high level of political consensus on EU integration. Multinational content analysis (RM2_F2): The purpose of the content analysis was to establish the attitude towards foreign corporations that carry out or intend to carry out foreign direct investments in Slovenia, as this attitude is expressed through media content. In doing so, it was tested whether there is a typical media attitude towards foreign capital and foreign direct investment, or whether this attitude depends on the context, especially the relationship between the relevant Slovenian actors and the holder of the foreign direct investment. The analysis is limited to four selected Slovenian media and is designed as a study of two cases, i.e. media treatment of the Renault corporation and media treatment of Interbrew, in both cases mainly in relation to the Slovenian environment, which in the first case is manifested mainly through the ownership of Revoz, and in the second it was expressed mainly through an attempt to acquire Pivovarna Union. The analysis deals with the relationship between a foreign corporation and Slovenian stakeholders (Slovenian companies, local community, state, employees, Slovenian national interest, consumers, NGOs/civil society, natural environment); highlights with which the corporation itself tries to present itself to the Slovenian public; value judgements made by the authors of media articles about a foreign corporation; and the political-party dimension. It is suggested that the manner of presenting the corporation is related, among other things, to the length of its presence in Slovenia, the attitude of the corporation towards stakeholders and the belief that a certain environment is dependent on the presence of a foreign corporation. The presence or absence of conflict of a foreign corporation with relevant Slovenian actors is highlighted as a key factor.
