Professional approach

The work centres on the subject of examination: what exactly needs to be established, which materials are analysed, which context matters and which conclusions are permissible within political science competence.

The examination may analyse publications, videos, leaflets, programmes, public statements, slogans, symbols, case materials, expert reports and information about the circumstances in which the material was published.

Scientific and methodological basis

Political science examination analyses the object in its social and political, informational, historical and situational context. It assesses the content and form of communication, the participants, addressee, timing and conditions of dissemination, and related documents and events.

The examination section should make it possible to follow the reasoning from the source materials and established characteristics to the conclusions. Where necessary, questions requiring linguistic, psychological, sociological, historical or other specialist knowledge are identified separately.

What matters in political science examination

  • distinguish political science analysis from legal assessment;
  • avoid substituting for linguistics, history, sociology or religious studies;
  • consider the genre, addressee, situation and social context;
  • formulate conclusions properly and in a verifiable way.

Combined examination

In complex cases, joint work with a linguist, historian, sociologist, religious studies scholar or media communication specialist may be possible. This approach is particularly important when disputed material contains linguistic, historical, ideological and political features together.
