How Chinaâs State Actors Create a âUs vs USâ World during Covid-19 Pandemic on Social Media
Health and science controversies surrounding Covid-19 pandemic have been politicized by state actors to manipulate international relations and politics. China is no exception. Using a package of communication tactics, the Chinese government has been engaging in an English-language information campaign to create an âUs vs USâ world during the pandemic on social media. While the world is scrutinizing the accuracy of and the intention behind the information disseminated by Chinaâs state actors, this commentary urges scholars to also focus on the influence of such information on global audiences, as well as on global power dynamics
DIPL 3800 AA Investigating International Relations
What is political science? How does one scientifically study the political world? What contribution does political science make to a body of knowledge? the practice of politics? the political world? And why should you know this stuff?
This course is deigned to develop those skills necessary for students to both conduct their own research and to critically evaluate the research of others. Rather than focusing on the memorization or âintakeâ of information and knowledge, this course will look at the elements of good science, sound research, and logical conclusions. The purpose of this course is not for students to attain or retain ânewâ knowledge, but rather to gain the tools necessary to be skilled researchers and consumers of knowledge. Class discussions will use required readings as a foundation for approaching questions regarding the nature, character, and practice of political science
Ultraconservatives in a Contentious Cusp between Past and Future: A Review of Dan Brownâs novel Origin
Taking Dan Brownâs latest novel Originas a thought-provoking heuristic device, this essay discusses the many facets of ultraconservativesâ anti-intellectualism (from their stances on evolution and climate change, and also their conspiracy theories). Brownâs novel particularly details the cultural tension between progressives and conservatives, depicting a very real far-right and how they respond to a hopeful and diverse youth (while exploring how political perception, fake news, and public information in the virtual era affect politics). The essay concludes that by raging war at science and deliberately making policies against progress, conservatives are at war against rationality itself, by defaming reason and allowing fascistic-authoritarianism to shape politics when, at the age of information, we should be moving to a more open, democratic, and post-capitalist world

News stories as evidence for research? BBC citations from articles, books and Wikipedia
This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by John Wiley & Sons in Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology on 17/07/2017, available online: https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.23862
The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Although news stories target the general public and are sometimes inaccurate, they can serve as sources of real-world information for researchers. This article investigates the extent to which academics exploit journalism using content and citation analyses of online BBC News stories cited by Scopus articles. A total of 27,234 Scopus-indexed publications have cited at least one BBC News story, with a steady annual increase. Citations from arts and humanities (2.8% of publications in 2015) and social sciences (1.5%) were more likely than citations from medicine (0.1%) and science (<0.1%). Surprisingly, half of the sampled Scopus-cited science and technology (53%) and medicine and health (47%) stories were based on academic research, rather than otherwise unpublished information, suggesting that researchers have chosen a lower quality secondary source for their citations. Nevertheless, the BBC News stories that were most frequently cited by Scopus, Google Books and Wikipedia introduced new information from many different topics, including politics, business, economics, statistics, and reports about events. Thus, news stories are mediating real world knowledge into the academic domain, a potential cause for concern
Informational Urbanism. A Conceptual Framework of Smart Cities
Contemporary and future cities are often labeled as âsmart cities,â âdigital citiesâ or âubiquitous cities,â âknowledge cities,â and âcreative cities.â Informational urbanism includes all aspects of information and (tacit as well as explicit) knowledge with regard to urban regions. âInformational cityâ (or âsmart cityâ in a broader sense) is an umbrella term uniting the divergent trends of information-related city research. Informational urbanism is an interdisciplinary endeavor incorporating on the one side computer science and information science as well as on the other side urban studies, city planning, architecture, city economics, and city sociology. In this article, we present both, a conceptual framework for research on smart cities as well as results from our empirical studies on smart cities all over the world. The framework consists of seven building blocks, namely information and knowledge related infrastructures, economy, politics (e-governance) and administration (e-government), spaces (spaces of flows and spaces of places), location factors, the peopleâs information behavior, and problem areas. \
Secrecy versus transparency in the US national security surveillance state
In the modern world, surveillance is one of the most common and effective tools of data collection, promising governments security from internal and external dangers. Since the Snowden affair, the issue of the true scope of governmental surveillance has become a serious concern of American society, raising institutional, systemic, and functional questions and highlighting the critical conflict between transparency and secrecy. Contemporary political science approaches the role of government surveillance from two perspectives: the expectation that democratic governments should conduct their politics with openness, providing citizens with access to information, protecting their basic rights and freedoms, and strengthening trust and accountability; and the acknowledgment that the need to preserve the effectiveness and efficiency of governance precludes the possibility of sharing vulnerable national security information with the public. This chapter analyzes the historical and contemporary relationship between secrecy and transparency in government surveillance in the United States, aiming to determine whether their coexistence is possible, particularly in light of the Snowden leaks. The analysis of the legal and political aspects of the politics of surveillance may help to answer the question of whether achieving transparency of surveillance practices is possible or, rather, is just a myth
