Canadian Policy Responses to Artificial Intelligence–Generated Threats to Democratic Elections
L'intelligence artificielle (IA) générative est largement considérée comme une menace potentielle pour l'intégrité d’élections et la participation au processus démocratique. La création et la diffusion de contenu par l'IA n'ont pas encore changé de manière décisive les résultats électoraux, mais des preuves expérimentales et des cas concrets suggèrent que l'IA est susceptible de constituer un défi majeur pour la démocratie au Canada et dans le mo…
Damage Control: How Campaign Teams Interpret and Respond to Online Incivility
Social media are critical to election campaigns, but they also expose candidates to incivility and abuse. While there is a growing literature on online incivility faced by politicians, little is known about how campaign teams interpret and respond to it. To address that gap, we analyze in-depth interviews with 31 candidates and campaign staff from the 2019 federal election in Canada. We find that campaign teams interpret incivility according to t…
Complicating the Resilience Model: A Four-Country Study About Misinformation
The resilience model to disinformation (Humprecht et al., 2020, 2021) suggests that countries will differ in exposure and reactions to disinformation due to their distinct media, economic, and political environments. In this model, higher media trust and the use of public service broadcasters are expected to build resilience to disinformation, while social media use and political polarization undermine resilience. To further test and develop the …
Unearthing grounded normative theory: Practices and commitments of empirical research in political theory
Many normative political theorists have engaged in the systematic collection and/or analysis of empirical data to inform the development of their arguments over the past several decades. Yet, the approach they employ has typically not been treated as a distinctive mode of theorizing. It has been mostly overlooked in surveys of normative political theory methods and methodologies, as well as by those critics who assert that political theory is too…
Disinformation as a Threat to Deliberative Democracy
It is frequently claimed that online disinformation threatens democracy, and that disinformation is more prevalent or harmful because social media platforms have disrupted our communication systems. These intuitions have not been fully developed in democratic theory. This article builds on systemic approaches to deliberative democracy to characterize key vulnerabilities of social media platforms that disinformation actors exploit, and to clarify …
Protecting Democracy from Disinformation: Normative Threats and Policy Responses
Following public revelations of interference in the United States 2016 election, there has been widespread concern that online disinformation poses a serious threat to democracy. Governments have responded with a wide range of policies. However, there is little clarity in elite policy debates or academic literature about what it actually means for disinformation to endanger democracy, and how different policies might protect it. This article prop…
Networking justice: Digitally-enabled engagement in transitional justice by the Syrian diaspora
Digital communication technologies (DCTs) introduce new opportunities and challenges for diaspora to advance transitional justice. This article proposes three DCT-enabled mechanisms that shape diaspora engagement with transitional justice politics and processes, developed through an analysis of diaspora responses to rights violations in Syria. First, diaspora can promote transitional justice aims through connective action: loosely-coordinated, tr…
