Using Content Analysis to Study Political Texts: Notes on Turkish Parliamentary Debates

Abstract

This article proposes that mixed-method content analysis is an apt and creative technique to investigate large amounts of political texts. To support this premise, the article discusses the advantages of the method on a study that scrutinizes the political debates about Armenians in the Turkish parliament between 1960 and 1980. In so doing, the article not only demonstrates the benefits of mixed-method content analysis in examining Turkish political texts but also outlines the research procedure to encourage scholars to use this valuable method in other contexts.Peer reviewe
