Social divisions between American partisans are growing, with Republicans and Democrats exhibiting homophily in a range of seemingly nonpolitical domains. It has been widely claimed that this ...partisan social divide extends to Americans’ decisions about where to live. In two original survey experiments, we confirm that Democrats are, in fact, more likely than Republicans to prefer living in more Democratic, dense, and racially diverse places. However, improving on previous studies, we test respondents’ stated preferences against their actual moving behavior. While partisans differ in their residential preferences, on average they are not migrating to more politically distinct communities. Using zip-code-level census and partisanship data on the places where respondents live, we provide one explanation for this contradiction: by prioritizing common concerns when deciding where to live, Americans forgo the opportunity to move to more politically compatible communities.

Celem badań była rekonstrukcja strategii komunikacji medialnej partii Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość w czasie kryzysu wewnętrznego, który rozpoczął się po agresji Federacji Rosyjskiej na ...Ukrainę. Cezura badawcza objęła okres od 24 lutego 2022 do 13 lutego 2023 r. Przedmiotem badań były wypowiedzi i publikacje zamieszczone w oficjalnych mediach Konfederacji, a także media społecznościowe liderów partii oraz udzielane przez nich wywiady. W badaniach wykorzystano analizę treści. Badania wykazały, że wielośrodowiskowa partia, jaką jest Konfederacja, aby rozwiązać kryzys wewnętrzny, zmuszona była wdrożyć strategie konsensusu w zakresie dyskusji o wojnie w Ukrainie oraz marginalizować działaczy podważających integralność ugrupowania. W ramach dążenia do konsensusu realizowano strategię komunikacyjną, którą można określić mianem poszukiwania wspólnoty wartości poprzez poszerzanie pola odniesienia do czynnika konfliktogennego. Marginalizacja jednej z czterech partii wchodzących w skład Konfederacji – Wolnościowców skutkowała zaś ich wystąpieniem z partii, tym samym efektem była stabilizacja sytuacji wewnętrznej w Konfederacji.
Political Communication of the Confederation Liberty and Independence Party During the Intra‑Party Crisis: The aim of the research was to reconstruct the communication strategy of the Confederation Liberty and Independence Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość party during the internal crisis that began after the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine. The research period covered the period from February 24, 2022 to February 13, 2023. The subject of the research were statements and publications published in the official media of the Confederation Konfederacja, as well as social media of party leaders and interviews they gave. Content analysis was used in the research. Research has shown that a multi-community party such as the Confederation Konfederacja, in order to solve the internal crisis, was forced to implement a consensus strategy in the field of discussion about the war in Ukraine and the marginalisation of activists who undermine the integrity of the group. As part of the pursuit of consensus, a communication strategy was implemented, which can be described as searching for a community of values by expanding the field of reference to the problem. The marginalisation of the Libertarians Wolnościowcy resulted in their withdrawal from the party, thus stabilising the internal situation in the Confederation Konfederacja.
This article offers comparative findings of the nature of populist Euroscepticism in political parties in contemporary Europe in the face of the Great Recession, migrant crisis, and Brexit. Drawing ...on case studies included in the Special Issue on France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom, the article presents summary cross-national data on the positions of parties, the relative importance of the crisis, the framing of Euroscepticism, and the impact of Euroscepticism in different country cases. We use this data to conclude that there are important differences between left- and right-wing variants of populist Euroscepticism, and that although there is diversity across the cases, there is an overall picture of resilience against populist Euroscepticism.

The present moment raises many questions about the workings and resilience of parliamentary democracy in Western-type democracies, including the former socialist states of the East Central European ...region, where various forms of populism and illiberal democracy are taking shape. Among these, Slovenia is taken as a case study, since it is not only a former socialist state, but was also for a long time acknowledged as a post-socialist success story. Focusing on the central state institution in systems of parliamentary democracy, i.e. the parliament, and its members (MPs) this paper considers speech as performed during parliamentary sessions by MPs from populist and non-populist political parties between the years 1992 and 2018, the period of a fully democratic Slovene national parliament. It combines the methodological approaches of cultural history with corpus linguistics in order to map any possible differences in populist and non-populist discourse of MPs. Special attention is given to situations where MPs mentioned the public, thus testing the hypothesis that populist MPs engage more with the public as a part of their populist political style.

Former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe was best known for his efforts to revive his country's economy and the military, but he also elevated Japan's health commitments, including championing ...universal health coverage (UHC) as a component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global health security. There were so many other issues, including macroeconomics and trade issues, but he wanted the G7 to take on global health and women's issues as a priority”, said Kenji Shibuya, Research Director of The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research. “Abe's emphasis on UHC was also now very important, not only for equitable access, but also very important for health security,” said Sakamoto, who previously served as Deputy Director of the Department of International Affairs in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare during Abe's second term.

Twitter has become a pervasive tool in election campaigns. Candidates, parties, journalists, and a steadily increasing share of the public are using Twitter to comment on, interact around, and ...research public reactions to politics. These uses have met with growing scholarly attention. As of now, this research is fragmented, lacks a common body of evidence, and shared approaches to data collection and selection. This article presents the results of a systematic literature review of 127 studies addressing the use of Twitter in election campaigns. In this systematic review, I will discuss the available research with regard to findings on the use of Twitter by parties, candidates, and publics during election campaigns and during mediated campaign events. Also, I will address prominent research designs and approaches to data collection and selection.

On March 16, 2020, the US Government introduced strict social distancing protocols for the United States in an effort to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. This had an immediate major effect ...on the job market, with millions of Americans forced to find alternative ways to make a living from home. As online labor markets like Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) play a major role in social science research, concerns have been raised that the pandemic may be reducing the diversity of subjects participating in experiments. Here, we investigate this possibility empirically. Specifically, we look at 15,539 responses gathered in 23 studies run on MTurk between February and July 2020, examining the distribution of gender, age, ethnicity, political preference, and analytic cognitive style. We find notable changes on some of the measures following the imposition of nationwide social distancing: participants are more likely to be less reflective (as measured by the Cognitive Reflection Test), and somewhat less likely to be white, Democrats (traditionally over-represented on MTurk), and experienced with MTurk. Most of these differences are explained by an influx of new participants into the MTurk subject pool who are more diverse and representative – but also less attentive – than previous MTurkers.
