Accessing Foreign Policy Information in the Digital Age: Evidence from Greece
Full text linkThe digitalization of governance and media has increased the visibility and accessibility of foreign policy, reshaping how citizens engage with international affairs. However, limited research exists on how digital platforms influence the way foreign policy information is accessed and evaluated in specific national contexts. This study addresses this gap by examining the case of Greece. Drawing on a nationwide online survey conducted in February 2024 (N = 800), this analysis investigates citizens’ source preferences, perceptions of credibility, and engagement patterns across socio-demographic groups. The findings reveal that digital platforms have emerged as the dominant sources of foreign policy information. Nevertheless, traditional dynamics of political polarization, selective trust, and fragmented media consumption remain prevalent. These results underscore the constraints of digitalization in expanding democratic participation and highlight the need for foreign policy research and practice to pay greater attention to public opinion and societal dynamics

Securitization Theory Insights on the Formation of an EU Army
Full text linkThis paper analyzes the narrative securitized by Eurofederalists in support of establishing an EU army. The main objective is to identify and categorize the assertions employed by securitizing actors in their speech acts, examined through the framework of securitization theory. To assess the impact of this securitized narrative, the study evaluates its reception among the EU public before and after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. The research reveals that securitizing actors cluster their assertions around four advantages: strategic, political, societal, and economic. Furthermore, the findings indicate that by framing these advantages within their narrative, securitizing actors have successfully influenced public opinion in the EU to favor the establishment of an EU army
Nuclear Deterrence and Crisis Stability in South Asia: The India-Pakistan Case Study
Full text linkAmid ongoing global challenges, the potential escalation of the India–Pakistan conflict into a large-scale war poses a serious threat to both regional and global security. This study examines the security risks arising from the India–Pakistan conflict and the likelihood of future escalation. The paper aims to analyze the impact of this conflict on regional and global security, with particular emphasis on the role of nuclear weapons as a central and persistent challenge. The research finds that balance-of-power theory and nuclear deterrence policies play a significant role in maintaining strategic stability between India and Pakistan. The article concludes that while nuclear weapons reduce the probability of a large-scale conventional war, they simultaneously introduce substantial risks that continue to threaten regional and international security
