Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes how the complex global spatiality of climate change is integrated into online national public discourses. Although the Web is an important venue for public discourses, little is known about its capability to integrate transnational issues. By looking at two types of communicative links (hyperlinks and referential links), we assess the degree and the scope of transnational integration for the four cases of Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The findings show that these national discourses are heavily transnationalized. However, the scope of transnationalization is restricted to countries of the Global North, with a clear focus on the United States. This leads to the conclusion that the Web’s capability to integrate transnational issues is limited.
