International Relations and Twitter

Increasingly, public opinion on foreign policy issues is debated and shaped on social media, such as Twitter and Facebook. We study the framing of different such issues, including migration and pandemics, paying particular attention to the role of opinion leaders such as politicians and media figures. We also compare the debates across different languages, to elucidate how national contexts affect the framing of common issues
