The shifting global allegiances of the Visegrád countries in a time of war
The MOMENTUM project strives to forge the definitive account of the shifting global allegiances of the Visegrád countries in the post-war period (hence: V-SHIFT) by the most extensive data collection and analysis to date. It will systematically analyse multiple decades worth of textual sources to unearth the changing reception of global powers within domestic politics and media. It applies cutting-edge AI methodology to quantify and evaluate the presence of, and attitudes towards, global powers on the domestic policy agenda in V4 countries. V-SHIFT is a poltextLAB project, supported by MTA Lendület.
