- This research monograph meets the criteria for being a sustained, extended, complex and multi-layered piece of research. It builds a novel theoretical framework for understanding political discourse that integrates actors, content, and the connections between actors into a coherent whole. It then develops a rigorous methodological “toolkit” for analysing political network data, demonstrates methods for analysing such data and describes free-to-use software that was developed by the author for this very purpose. Finally, the book applies the theory and methods to the case of German pension reform, which results in new datasets and novel findings.
