Experts, coders and crowds
Political scientists increasingly use crowdworkers to produce data, predominantly in the context of coding researcher-curated text or to retrieve simple data from the internet.

First, we introduce a typology of data-producing actors – experts, trained coders and crowds – …
Women's political representation, good governance and human development
As women's political inclusion has become the international norm, many countries have implemented gender quotas or actively tried to increase women's political representation. Women's inclusion is also expected to bring positive development outcomes, as women, both as voters and politicians, may prioritize policies conducive to development.

We argue incumbents emphasize positive issue content and limit attacking their opponent. Competitive races encourage positive mobilization posts and aggressive attack mes…
State of the world 2017

Autocratization mainly affects non-electoral aspects of democracy such as media freedom, freedom of expression, and the rule of law, yet these in turn threaten to undermine the meaningfulness of elections. While the majority of the world’s population lives under democratic ru…
