We study how political actors use images on platforms like Instagram to shape narratives, focusing on populist radical right parties, and visual consistency in campaign communication.
This research investigates how legislative texts can be systematically mined to shed light on legislative-executive relations, focusing on patterns of delegation and constraint that structure the chain of authority from voters to bureaucrats. By analyzing legislative texts, we provide new insights into how legislators confer powers on executive actors and impose limits on their actions—revealing the formal architecture of political authority embedded in EU legislation.
We examine how the semantics of liberal-democratic concepts shift in speeches from regimes undergoing autocratization, using embedding regression to track rhetorical change over time and across contexts.
