Bourdieu’s capitals matter
Extending working lives is a major European policy goal, but the role of individual resources in retirement timing remains underexplored. To our knowledge, this study is the first to apply Bourdieu’s theory of capitals as a framework for understanding how resources/capitals affect retirement decisions over time. Using Waves 6–9 of panel data from Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the study employs exploratory factor analysis to i…
Under the Radar
In the digital trenches
Based on open-source intelligence, social network analysis and comparative analysis, this study discusses the structure, evolution and most important features of the pro-Islamic State (IS) information ecosystem on the surface web between July 2023 and March 2024. It proves that the core of its propaganda distribution network is surprisingly centralized around three stand-alone domains, including one link directory – Fahras – and two propaganda re…
Attitudes of European older workers towards digitalisation from the ecological perspective
The dynamic processes of automation and digitalisation rapidly transform the labour market. Better adaptation to these processes at the individual level relies on knowledge and perceptions of the situation, as reflected by attitudes in large-scale data. This paper combines the theory of the digital divide, which focuses on inequalities, with the ecological perspective providing a framework for studying how attitudes towards digitalisation are con…

Social exchange in intergenerational relationships over the family life course
Objectives Parent–child relationships are characterized by exchanges of support across the family life course. This investigation examined whether earlier financial and service support provided by parents incentivized adult children to provide support to older mothers. Direct, indirect, anticipatory, and contingent reciprocity are employed to test four types of intergenerational exchange. Methods Data derived from 470 baby-boom children and their…
Impact of family structure on the quality of life of older adults, its stability, and gender differences in the European context
The most important roles in later life – those of parent, spouse, and grandparent – are all located within a family. Thus, the family structure and availability of close relatives is an important predictor of the subjective quality of life (QoL). At the same time, the current demographic, economic, and cultural changes cause the increasing importance of intergenerational relationships within a broader family structure. This research examines the …
Dark web jihad
This paper maps communication channels exploited by the Salafi-jihadist violent extremist organisations (VEOs) and their followers between March 2020 and June 2022 on The Onion Router (TOR). It argues that the true scale of digital jihadist presence on TOR has remained insignificant for years. Militant Islamists have mostly used .onion domains as backup propaganda dissemination channels, which enable content takedown policies introduced by counte…
Open-source intelligence and research on online terrorist communication
This article explores key ethical and security challenges related to exploitation of open-source intelligence (OSINT) in research on online terrorist propaganda. In order to reach this objective, the most common approaches to OSINT-based projects are analysed through the lens of some of the most recognized ethical guidelines in science, which allowed several core dilemmas to be identified. First of all, this study discusses how personal data prot…
Impacts of cultural factors and mode of administration on item nonresponse for political questions in the European context
We tested the impacts of Hofstede’s cultural factors and mode of administration on item nonresponse (INR) for political questions in the European Values Study (EVS). We worked with the integrated European Values Study dataset, using descriptive analysis and multilevel binary logistic regression models. We concluded that (1) modes of administration with an interviewer lead to an INR lower than those without an interviewer. In terms of Hofstede’s c…
Artificial Intelligence as a Terrorism Enabler? Understanding the Potential Impact of Chatbots and Image Generators on Online Terrorist Activities

It discusses the risks of using AI to produce and disseminate propaganda, as well as verifies whether it can be used to facilitate access to terrorist content. It also explores if AI-based platforms can be used to access terrorism-related know-how. This paper…
The effect of roles prescribed by active ageing on quality of life across European regions
The active ageing approach supports a set of roles or activities that are supposed to be beneficial for older adults. This paper reassesses the benefits of activities for the quality of life by (a) analysing many activities at the same time to control each other, (b) using panel data to detect the effects of activities over time, and (c) performing separate analyses for four European regions to test the context-specificity of the effects. The eff…
Why Do Online Countering Violent Extremism Strategies Not Work? The Case of Digital Jihad
This article discusses the reasons why content moderation and control in cyberspace, being a primary means of online countering violent extremism (CVE), does not work as intended. It makes four main arguments. Firstly, despite years of efforts from CVE stakeholders, the propaganda of militant Islamist VEOs is still easily accessible on the Internet. This study has mapped hundreds of addresses engaged in digital jihadist activities at the turn of …
Islamic State’s Online Propaganda
Explaining the means utilised by the editors of the Islamic State’s online magazines to win the "hearts and minds" of their audiences, this book is a result of a multidimensional content analysis of two flagship periodicals of the Islamic State: Dabiq and Rumiyah. Drawing from a number of theoretical concepts in propaganda studies, the research uses comparative analysis to understand the evolution of the modus operandi employed by the editorial s…

This article aims to map the online propaganda presence and activities of the Turkestan Islamic Party’s media arm—Islam Awazi (“Voice of Islam”). It also discusses its capabilities in terms of producing new releases and attracting online audiences. In order to reach these objectives, this study exploited a methodology which is a combination of open source intelligence techniques (OSINT) with limited content analysis. It argues that the Uyghur-ori…
Differences in social participation of older adults across European welfare regimes
Social participation amongst older adults is considered generally beneficial and is supported by active ageing policies in Europe. However, efforts to increase the quality of life and enhance the ageing experience may have the unintended consequence of increasing later life inequalities. This study uses six waves from SHARE to illustrate how social participation develops over time and how it is structured by education, financial situation and hea…
Individual value orientation, social norms, and volunteering outcomes in later life
A growing body of scholarship examines the social and personal benefits of volunteering across the life course. However, less is known about how this experience of volunteering varies across different national contexts and how the impact of volunteering is shaped by micro- and macro-conditions. This article utilizes a cross-national multilevel regression analysis of European Values Survey data to explore the benefits of volunteering for two disti…
Between the “Camp of Falsehood” and the “Camp of Truth”

Let's Play a Video Game
This article argues that video games have become a valid and increasingly significant means of jihadist digital propaganda. “Gaming jihad” has recently shown interesting alterations, mostly due to actions undertaken by the so called Islamic State and its cyber-partisans, which have discovered new ways of using this flexible and immersive medium. Similar to more conventional forms of its online propaganda, which have been imitated by other Islamis…
