New journal article – Orsolya Ring in Intersections

25 February

The study titled "International Organisations Legitimation in the Media in Eurasian Post-Socialist Countries" by Krzysztof Rybinski and Orsolya Ring, our Institute's Research Fellow, has been published in the journal "Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics".

Rybinski, Krzysztof, & Ring, Orsolya (2025). International Organisations legitimation in the media in Eurasian post-socialist countries. Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics, 10(3), 90–116.

The paper presents the first-ever big data analysis of International Organisations (IOs) legitimation in the media in Eurasian post-socialist countries. It uses text mining and regression analysis to quantify intensity, tone, and narrative in the media as three critical dimensions of legitimation. The model is applied to a corpus of 1.3 million newspaper articles from six countries and twelve IOs. The paper shows that contrary to earlier studies covering established democracies, the tone of articles on IOs is predominantly positive. Articles mentioning influential domestic politicians contribute to the delegitimation of the IOs featured, except in Poland.
