Thus, it comes as no surprise that different political actors try to exploit these online platforms for their benefit. Bots constitute a popular tool on SNSs that appears to be able to shape public opinion and disrupt political processes. However, the role of bots during political events in a non-Western context remains largely under-studied. This article addresses the question of the involvement of Twitter bots during electoral campaigns in Japan. In our study, we collected Twitter data over a fourteen-day period in October 2017 using a set of hashtags related to the 2017 Japanese general election. Our dataset includes 905,215 tweets, 665,400 of which were unique tweets. Using a supervised machine learning approach, we first built a custom ensemble classification model for bot detection based on user profile features, with an area under curve (AUC) for the test set of 0.998. Second, in applying our model, we estimate that the impact of Twitter bots in Japan was minor overall. In comparison with similar studies conducted during elections in the US and the UK, the deployment of Twitter bots involved in the 2017 Japanese general election seems to be significantly lower. Finally, given our results on the level of bots on Twitter during the 2017 Japanese general election, we provide various possible explanations for their underuse within a broader socio-political context URL Link na plný text Public work category ADM No. of Archival Copy 47564 Repercussion category KUMAR, Sanjay - BANSAL, Ryan - MEHTA, Raghav.

Descr. články - journal articles Language Slovak Country Slovak Republic systematics 324 Annotation Research on transformation of German political arena has been quite intensive over the last years. Several general trends could be observed in last decades, but acceleration of more significant changes was seen especially in regard with the political consequences of migration and refugee crisis. The 2017 German parliamentary elections led to a confirmation of a new political reality in Germany and some unexpected results in modern post-war German history. As an outcome of the 2017 elections six political parties entered Bundestag in 2017. The winner, conservative Union of the CDU/CSU, achieved strongest electoral result with 32.9% of the casted votes, but both large parties (CDU/CSU and SPD) were politically weakened and experienced one of the lowest electoral results since their establishment. Fragmentation of political scene, weakening of traditional large political parties, success of new party (AfD), and the return of the traditional political party (FDP) into the German parliament, complicated political relations on the left side of German political spectrum and ruled out simple post-election coalition negotiations. These eventually led to the historically longest government building process of 4th Merkel's government that lasted 171 calendar days. Hence, the study provides an analysis of the campaign, outcome of the parliamentary elections, its interpretations in the context of German, European political development and their impact on German politics. The revival of the Great coalition was reflected in the promotion of some new domestic policies and a support for continuity of the German foreign and European policy. The recent dynamics led to a stabilization of internal situation in both CDU and CSU, ideological crisis of SPD, brought reinforcement of Green party and confirmed fragmentation of German political scene into six relevant political parties which will represent the most important political forces for the next German parliamentary elections.
