But when non-EU states do recognize EU actorness, it follows relatively clear patterns: 📍 Geographical proximity; 💼 Trade dependence; ❌ Less likely among great powers and autocratic regimes.

Recognition mostly occurs in economic contexts—rarely in security, and especially hardly in relation to democracy or liberal values. And: recognition is largely driven by EU member states themselves. External recognition is rare—less than 12% of all speeches.

Key findings: EU actorness is frequently recognized—more so than for many international organizations (with the #AfricanUnion as an exception) or even states.

🤔 The #EU 🇪🇺 aspires to be a global actor 🌍 — but do other states recognize it as such?

My new study in @intlinteractions.bsky.social develops targeted #NLP / #TextAsData tools to analyze 50 years of foreign policy discourse in the annual #UN General Debate (1970–2020).

Dear #Polisky hive mind: What are your best recommendations for resources that help students struggling with developing/refining #ResearchQuestions for term papers or theses?

An opinion is only valid if it is mine. Say "hell yes" or leave. Now that's free speech, isn't it?

The corpora can be freely used under a CC-BY license and are shared via @gesis.org . For more info, check out the #ParlLawSpeech website (www.parllawspeech.org) and the EU-funded OPTED project (www.opted.eu). Put the data to work and keep us posted! (3/3)

#ParlLawSpeech provides new #DataLinkage across speeches and legislative documents, promising deeper insights into how parliaments work: how do MPs amend bills and how do they debate them in parliament? Our #rstats tutorials get you started. We are curious about what 👉 you 👈 come up with! (2/3)

Does anybody find these web-based epub readers on journal websites (such as Wiley) useful for anything? Just gimme the pdf, please ...

[btw, they also break auto-downloads in lit management software - maybe that's their purpose ...]
