@bfwalter & @Gregoire_Philli unpack this puzzle by introducing a new dataset on rebel propaganda that includes every available piece of public, downloadable Internet communication produced by every major rebel group in the Iraqi civil war between 2011 and 2015.
New dataset alert: @MatiasSpektor, @marcos_ross_f, @lucasdopaes, João Victor Dalla Pola & Vitor Loureiro Sion developed the Latin American Transnational Surveillance dataset, based on declassified foreign surveillance reports produced between 1966 and 1986 by autocratic Brazil.
Drawing on the data the authors empirically explore existing theoretical insights about the motivations, methods and consequences of transnational surveillance, and use social network analysis to test collective-action theories of transnational political violence.
@ChrisVSteinert & Daniel Kazenwadel address this issue in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian and Turkish–Kurdish conflicts. Using GPT-3.5, the authors employ an automated query procedure to inquire about casualties in specific airstrikes.
