Analytical Methods for Social Research presents texts on empirical and formal methods for the social sciences. Volumes in the series address both the theoretical underpinnings of analytical techniques as well as their application in social research. Some series volumes are broad in scope, cutting across a number of disciplines. Others focus mainly on methodological applications within specific fields such as political science, sociology, demography, and public health. The series serves a mix of students and researchers in the social sciences and statistics.

Deliberative democracy has been the main game in contemporary political theory for two decades and has grown enormously in size and importance in political science and many other disciplines, and in political practice. The Oxford Handbook of Deliberative Democracy takes stock of deliberative democracy as a research field, as well as exploring and creating links with multiple disciplines and policy practice around the globe. It provides a concise history of deliberative ideals in political thought while also discussing their philosophical origins. It locates deliberation in a political system with different spaces, publics, and venues, including parliament and courts but also governance networks, protests, mini-publics, old and new media, and everyday talk. It documents the intersections of deliberative ideals with contemporary political theory, involving epistemology, representation, constitutionalism, justice, and multiculturalism. It explores the intersections of deliberative democracy with major research fields in the social sciences and law, including social and rational choice theory, communications, psychology, sociology, international relations, framing approaches, policy analysis, planning, democratization, and methodology. It engages with practical applications, mapping deliberation as a reform movement and as a device for conflict resolution. It documents the practice and study of deliberative democracy around the world, in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe, and global governance. And it provides reflections on the field by pioneering thinkers.

De-globalization, now a distinct possibility, would induce a significant qualitative shift in strategies, structures, and behaviors observable in international business (IB). Coming to terms with this qualitative shift would require IB research to develop a much deeper integration of politics, the key driver of de-globalization. To support such integration, this paper introduces two relevant theories of (de-)globalization from political science, liberalism and realism. Both predict de-globalization under current conditions but lead to different expectations about the future world economy: liberalism suggests a patchwork of economic linkages, while realism predicts the emergence of economic blocs around major countries. This paper discusses the resulting opportunities in three areas of IB research: political strategies and roles of multinational enterprises (MNEs), global value chains, and the role of the national context. For political strategies and roles, there is a need to explore how regular business activities and deliberate political agency of MNEs affect the political sustainability of globalization. For value chains, questions include their future reach and specialization, changes in organizational forms, and the impact of political considerations on location decisions. Research opportunities on national contexts relate to their ability to sustain globalization and their connection with economic and military power.

Game theory is central to understanding human behavior and relevant to all of the behavioral sciences—from biology and economics, to anthropology and political science. However, as The Bounds of Reason demonstrates, game theory alone cannot fully explain human behavior and should instead complement other key concepts championed by the behavioral disciplines. Herbert Gintis shows that just as game theory without broader social theory is merely technical bravado, so social theory without game theory is a handicapped enterprise. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Reinvigorating game theory, The Bounds of Reason offers innovative thinking for the behavioral sciences.

Due to the correlational structure in our traits such as identities, cultures, and political attitudes, seemingly innocuous preferences like following a band or using a specific slang can reveal private traits. This possibility, especially when combined with massive, public social data and advanced computational methods, poses a fundamental privacy risk. As our data exposure online and the rapid advancement of AI are increasing the risk of misuse, it is critical to understand the capacity of large language models (LLMs) to exploit such potential. Here, using online discussions on DebateOrg and Reddit, we show that LLMs can reliably infer hidden political alignment, significantly outperforming traditional machine learning models. Prediction accuracy further improves as we aggregate multiple text-level inferences into a user-level prediction, and as we use more politics-adjacent domains. We demonstrate that LLMs leverage words that are highly predictive of political alignment while not being explicitly political. Our findings underscore the capacity and risks of LLMs for exploiting socio-cultural correlates.

The coastal areas of Semarang City have experienced land conversion due to development activities that threaten mangrove sustainability in recent years. The urgency of this research is the need to monitor mangrove density levels to be used as input in its management. The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in mangrove density levels and the occurrence of abrasion in time series using the Google Earth Engine cloud computing model. The research method used visual interpretation and spectral transformation of NDVI and MNDWI to identify spatial distribution, mangrove density and abrasion. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in mangrove area in 2019-2023 with an area of 111.74 hectares. Furthermore, the level of mangrove density is quite dynamic, especially for high density with a decrease in area from 2019 - 2023 with an area of 260.25 hectares, besides that the decline in high density mangroves also occurred in 2015 - 2023 with a decrease in area of 38.73 hectares. Abrasion in the research location was identified in 2 coastal villages, namely Mangunharjo Village with abrasion along 0.88 km (2015 - 2023) and Tugurejo Village with abrasion along 1.04 km, where both areas also experienced a decrease in mangrove area at a high-density level. In conlusion, there has been a decrease in the area and density of mangroves in the study site, one of which has an impact on abrasion.

L’étude explore les perceptions des populations locales face au développement du tourisme balnéaire à San Pedro (Côte d’Ivoire). En se distinguant par une méthodologie mixte de type exploratoire, elle identifie trois sortes de perceptions : positive, négative et ambivalente. L’hypothèse, selon laquelle les perceptions sont simultanément favorables et défavorables, est rejetée en raison d’une distribution statistique non significative. L’étude met en lumière le décalage entre les textes réglementaires encadrant le tourisme et les réalités vécues sur le terrain, en ouvrant la voie à une réflexion sur la nécessité d’une gouvernance inclusive, d’une régulation renforcée et d’une valorisation des savoirs locaux.
