Pegida under closer scrutiny: How a regional protest movement evolved into a pan-European phenomenon

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
This thesis primarly sets out the story behind the rise of Pegida, Germany's most notorious social movement of the 21th century. Furthermore, it investigates the link with the EU and attempts to find out to what extent two of Germany's most prominent newspapers, Bild and Sueddeutsche Zeitung, have contributed to, or hampered, the emergence of the Dresden-born movement.
