Introduction

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you will agree that politics has fundamentally changed over the last few years. My goal is to explain what happened and chart the way ahead.

Areas of Expertise

My focus is to share advances made in the general area of political methodology,
including both quantitative and qualitative approaches.

ANALYSIS

Political analysis covers power relations, structures and beliefs. Power is exercised at all levels in society but mostly focused on government, economy, society and technology.

STRATEGY

We cover the entire political cycle: agenda setting, policy formulation, decision making, implementation and evaluation.
Our main focus is on the first three steps.

COMMUNICATION

We cover the production, dissemination, and measurement of effects of political information, both through mass media and heavily customised, using machine learning and network analysis.
