Research challenges and training needs in text analysis for political science research
An ever-increasing availability of digital texts has opened new research opportunities for political scientists. Yet, researchers who want to utilise these data face several challenges. This paper presents the results of a community-wide survey tapping into various research challenges, training needs, and preferences of scholars using text analysis methodologies. The survey involved respondents from various academic fields and career levels. Our …
What Kind of Depolarization Should We Aim For? Making Communication Transformative
Polarization may become a threat to democracy, if it starts to block the capacities for collective problem-solving. This is particularly problematic in the current state of multiple social and ecological crises. Calls for depolarization often lack clarity about what kind of depolarization is normatively desirable. Academic texts often lack transparency about the values that underpin recommendations for better communication. Focusing on discursive…
Tilting at Windmills Opportunistically
Ethno-religious nationalism has been an integral part of the Georgian identity since the country regained independence. Since the early 2000s, Georgia has had a constitutionally enshrined pro-European foreign policy, which has been reflected in a strong identification with Europe, its culture, and values. Survey data show that Georgians prefer European and Christian ethnic outgroups to Asian and Muslim ones. These factors could have explained the…
Intergroup ethnocentrism and social media
Mass media have long been known to be deeply linked to ethnocentrism and its consequences. Attitudes towards ethnic outgroups are shaped by news agendas, framing, and tone at least as much or more than by the realities of immigration. By contrast, comparatively little is known about social media and interethnic contact. Unlike mass news, the interactive features of social media use can combine information with a direct interethnic contact. This c…
Citizen-produced political text
Advancements in data harvesting and analysing techniques of large datasets have introduced novel challenges for research utilising political text produced by citizens (CPPT). There are numerous disparities in the current research, which populations and how they are studied, data availability, and access privileges. Researchers’ perspectives on these obstacles have seldom been empirically captured. Our study, built on a survey and in-depth intervi…
