Communication Research into the Digital Society
Media and communication have become ubiquitous in today's societies and affect all aspects of life. On an individual level, they impact how we learn about the world, how we entertain ourselves, and how we interact with others. On an organisational level, the interactions between media and organisations, such as political parties, NGOs, businesses and brands, shape organisations' reputation, legitimacy, trust and (financial) performance, as well as individuals' consumer, political, social and health behaviours. At the societal level, media and communication are crucial for shaping public opinion on current issues such as climate change, sustainability, diversity, and well-being. Media challen...

Norris counters current pessimism about the effectiveness of democratic programs monitoring and assisting elections worldwide, arguing for international engagement.
The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
Meeting Democracy
An innovative study of the internal practices of deliberation and democratic decision-making in twelve Global Justice social movement groups.
Comparative Electoral Management
This book offers the first comparative monograph on the management of elections. The book defines electoral management as a new, inter-disciplinary area and advances a realist sociological approach to study it. A series of new, original frameworks are introduced, including the PROSeS framework, which can be used by academics and practitioners around the world to evaluate electoral management quality. A networked governance approach is also introduced to understand the full range of collaborative actors involved in delivering elections, including civil society and the international community. Finally, the book evaluates some of the policy instruments used to improve the integrity of elections...
Handbook of Innovations in Political Psychology
In this interdisciplinary Handbook, editors Ethan C. Busby, Christopher F. Karpowitz, and Cara J. Wong explore not just what political psychology is but what it could be. In so doing, they Ð and the chapter authors Ð examine and expand political psychologyÕs scope and relevance. Bringing together a diverse array of authors to examine both core topics and emerging themes, they combine foundational insights with fresh perspectives to consider what innovations exist and are needed in the field of political psychology.
Electoral Integrity in America
Concern about the integrity of American elections did not start with Trump's election; flaws in procedures have gradually grown during recent decades. The contemporary "tipping point" that raised public awareness was the 2000 Bush v. Gore Florida count, but, the 2016 campaign and its aftermath clearly worsened several major structural weaknesses. This deepened party polarization over the rules of the game and corroded American trust in the electoral process. Disputes over elections have proliferated on all sides in Trump's America with heated debate about the key problems--whether the risks of electoral fraud, fake news, voter suppression, or Russian interference--and with no consensus about...
Dark Politics
Drawing on new data from 100 recent elections, post-election surveys, and original experimental evidence, Alessandro Nai and J?rgen Maier provide the first large-scale comparative investigation into the "darker" sides of human personality in politicians. They show that dark traits are acutely present in populists, go hand in hand with more aggressive forms of campaign rhetoric, and are particularly appreciated by voters with dark personality traits. Dark traits can sometimes be electorally successful, and tend to be associated with a better economic performance. However, dark leaders can lead to increased cynicism in the public, democratic deconsolidation, and even a poorer response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, Dark Politics provides a new way to understand contemporary politics by looking at the crucial role of dark personality traits in leaders and voters.
Les nouvelles frontières du genre
Comme l'a relevé la théorie féministe, l'opposition entre sphère publique et sphère privée est porteuse de rapports de genre inégalitaires, le masculin ayant été associé au public et le féminin au privé, contribuant à reléguer les femmes dans la sphère domestique. Mais l'entrée massive des femmes sur le marché du travail ou leur participation politique croissante, semblent avoir changé la donne. Dans ce nouveau contexte, la division public/privé joue-t-elle encore un rôle dans la reproduction des inégalités de genre ?
Ces nouvelles barrières érigées après la chute du mur de Berlin
Cet ouvrage présente la démarche et les résultats d’une enquête méthodique menée sur un échantillonnage de 18 frontières, pour expliquer la présence de nouvelles barrières construites dans certaines zones frontalières fluctuantes après la chute du mur de Berlin. L’analyse booléenne, utilisée pour mener cette enquête, révèle explicitement comment la convergence de certains facteurs explicatifs reconnus comme conditions logiques motive plusieurs pays à ériger des barrières contre leurs voisins.
