Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the trust and international politics focused on the CSCE/OSCE process. In the CSCE regime, there was no integrated view about the role of media. In the Eastern Camp, media should be used as a tool of "Trust" maker between states, so media and information should be controlled by government. On the other hand in the Western Camp, media and flew of information should be free because media should check the power of government. This difference had not been dissolved during the Cold War era. After the collapse of communist bloc, all CSCE/OSCE participating states agreed the importance of the free of information and the role of media as a watchdog of government. At the same time, however, nationalism was reborn in the Eastern European States and Former Soviet Union, and some civil wars occurred. In this situation, especially Germany thought media should be used as a tool of "Trust" maker among people, nation, and state. Comparing with the idea of Eastern Bloc, Germany did not think media should be controlled by government. The main purpose of this idea was not "state" but "nation".
