IRI: Tweets in State-level Public Diplomacy Liam Monninger
Tweets in State-level Public Diplomacy Topic: Ideas: Tweets in state-level public diplomacy Is the tweet an effective instrument of public diplomacy? What might this mean for international politics? medium theory? ect. Many established models: the response a tweet garners from a foreign regime ought to be related to its audience Do I find evidence to support these models? Research -- Methods and Challenges: Findings: Core statistical approach Difficult to find appropriate variables; lack of precedent Low n Not so much definitive as provocative Little to no relationship between tweet audience and tweet response in my data Challenges commitment device, agenda setting and norm promoting models Media determinism as whole dubious in light of my research
Perspectives: I. Commitment Device II. Agenda Setting III. Norm Promotion
Commitment Device Tweets are not costly enough.
Agenda Setting Tweets set the agenda of the other state more or less directly, if at all.
Norm Promotion Tweets are likely weak norm promoters as they seem to fail to establish norms around their own use
