RESEARCH
Dr Sarikakis's work is informed by political philosophy and focuses on the political processes and political economic dimensions of media and communications policies, nationally and globally. She is interested in the ways in which empowerment and disempowerment of citizens become inherent elements in public policy addressing communication (either as technology or process) and expression (whether political, cultural or other). In her work, institutions are central spaces for the construction of ideas, legitimacy and exercise of control. Her current research explores these dimensions through the tensions of varying forms and degrees of state intervention upon individuals and communication and media industries.
An earlier strand of her research has focused on the study of the development of supranational representational politics and its role in European communications policies and governance; a second strand has concentrated on the study of international policy regimes as they are shaped by and further facilitate processes of globalisation. Underlying her research is an attention to the micropolitics of citizenship, its changing notions and configurations as lived and 'everyday' experience, and with particular reference to the 'organic' exercise of citizenship and pursuit of social justice. She is developing work to explore the entanglement of macro and micro structures of media and communications policy and the regularisation of political economic regimes with their impact on civil liberties, democratisaton of decision-making and radical democracy. The social categorisation factor of 'gender' is an important analytical tool in furthering the second strand of this work.
Dr Sarikakis is the founding co-editor of the International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics (MCP) with Prof Neil Blain (Univesity of Stirling). MCP is a widely known journal that aims to facilitate a forum for critical and astute analysis of contemporary world affairs as these are related to media and cultural politics.
She is the founder and immediate past director of the Centre for International Communications Research at ICS since 2004. She was also the Director for the PhD programme at ICS between 2006-2009 during which time she secured ESRC recognition of the PhD programme.
Since 2006 she is the chair the Communications Law and Policy Section of ECREA.
Dr Sarikakis is currently supervising research projects on social media and identity formation in Europe, identity and representation with regards EU accession countries, telecommunications and ICT policy in Kenya, Freedom of Speech in African countries, communication policy in humanitarian organisations and the portrayal of violence in news and in the Arts.
She is available to supervise PhD research in the following areas:

· International policy regimes.
· Political economy of national and international media.
