Popular Dictatorships : Crises, Mass Opinion, and the Rise of Electoral Authoritarianism
Electoral autocracies – regimes that adopt democratic institutions but subvert them to rule as dictatorships – have become the most widespread, resilient and malignant non-democracies today.They have consistently ruled over a third of the countries in the world, including geopolitically significant states like Russia, Turkey, Venezuela, Egypt, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan.Challenging conventional wisdom, Popular Dictators shows that the success of electoral authoritarianism is not due to these regimes' superior capacity to repress, bribe, brainwash and manipulate their societies into submission, but is actually a product of their genuine popular appeal in countries experiencing deep political, economic and security crises.Promising efficient, strong-armed rule tempered by popular accountability, elected strongmen attract mass support in societies traumatized by turmoil, dysfunction and injustice, allowing them to rule through the ballot box.Popular Dictators argues that this crisis legitimation strategy makes electoral authoritarianism the most significant threat to global peace and democracy.

What is your opinion that is not popular?
One unpopular opinion I hold is that social media has more negative impacts on society than positive ones. While it can be a powerful tool for communication and connection, I believe that the constant comparison, validation-seeking, and misinformation that often circulate on these platforms can have detrimental effects on mental health and societal well-being. I think it is important for individuals to be mindful of their usage and the potential consequences it may have on their overall well-being.

The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion Reconsidered : What Determines Public Opinion?
In the Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion (1992), John Zaller set out one of the most influential models of opinion formation: he presented the public as a pliable instrument of political elites, who are able to garner support simply by sending "cues" through the mass media telling Republicans or Democrats, for example, what "the" Republican or Democratic position is on a given issue.Contributors to this volume critically examine Zaller’s model and its implications, empirical and normative.The introduction contrasts two different strands in Zaller’s book, one of which confines the impact of media messages to politicians’ cues, the other of which emphasizes the impact of journalists’ interpretive frames.Other chapters examine whether elite domination of public opinion is desirable and assess how well Zaller’s model has withstood two decades of research.Zaller himself contributes a long retrospective in which he modifies some claims, defends others, and sets out a bold new research agenda. This book was published as a special issue of Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society.

Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining is the field of study that analyzes people's opinions, sentiments, evaluations, attitudes, and emotions from written language.It is one of the most active research areas in natural language processing and is also widely studied in data mining, Web mining, and text mining.In fact, this research has spread outside of computer science to the management sciences and social sciences due to its importance to business and society as a whole.The growing importance of sentiment analysis coincides with the growth of social media such as reviews, forum discussions, blogs, micro-blogs, Twitter, and social networks.For the first time in human history, we now have a huge volume of opinionated data recorded in digital form for analysis.Sentiment analysis systems are being applied in almost every business and social domain because opinions are central to almost all human activities and are key influencers of our behaviors.Our beliefs and perceptions of reality, and the choices we make, are largely conditioned on how others see and evaluate the world.For this reason, when we need to make a decision we often seek out the opinions of others.This is true not only for individuals but also for organizations.This book is a comprehensive introductory and survey text.It covers all important topics and the latest developments in the field with over 400 references.It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners who are interested in social media analysis in general and sentiment analysis in particular.Lecturers can readily use it in class for courses on natural language processing, social media analysis, text mining, and data mining.Lecture slides are also available online.

The Dynamics of Public Opinion
A central question in political representation is whether government responds to the people.To understand that, we need to know what the government is doing, and what the people think of it.We seek to understand a key question necessary to answer those bigger questions: How does American public opinion move over time?We posit three patterns of change over time in public opinion, depending on the type of issue.Issues on which the two parties regularly disagree provide clear partisan cues to the public.For these party-cue issues we present a slight variation on the thermostatic theory from (Soroka and Wlezien (2010); Wlezien (1995)); our “implied thermostatic model.” A smaller number of issues divide the public along lines unrelated to partisanship, and so partisan control of government provides no relevant clue.Finally, we note a small but important class of issues which capture response to cultural shifts.

What is your opinion on top-loading washing machines?
Top-loading washing machines can be a convenient option for those who prefer not to bend down to load and unload their laundry. They also tend to have a shorter wash cycle and can be more budget-friendly compared to front-loading machines. However, they typically use more water and energy, and may not be as gentle on clothes as front-loading machines. Ultimately, the choice between top-loading and front-loading washing machines depends on individual preferences and needs.
