Dear all, Eva-Maria Trüdinger, Conrad Ziller and I are editing a research topic in Frontiers in Political Science on “Contemporary Threats, Surveillance, and the Balancing of Security and Liberty”. In this Research Topic we aim to bring together social scientists working on how threats and government responses to these threats (such as surveillance) shape citizens’ attitudes and behaviors toward the political system or particular policies. Contributions to this Research Topic should address a combination of at least two of three elements: threat, surveillance, political attitudes/behavior. We welcome both single-country cases and comparative analyses. We are particularly interested in receiving contributions based on experiments (e.g. survey experiments, natural experiments), as well as on big data (e.g., text as data, social media data). Abstract submission deadline is April 30, 2022. Further details: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/32704/contemporary-threats-surveillance-and-the-balancing-of-security-and-liberty Feel free to share this call in your networks and please get in touch if you have any questions. We are looking forward to your contributions!
