Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Social media presents a unique challenge for foreign policy experts. Unlike the platforms offered to diplomats and ministries of foreign affairs (MFAs) in legacy media, not only does it democratize the flow of information, but also changes the speed and volume at which information travels. In the realm of bilateral negotiations, MFA representatives must contend with the potential of social media to shape and change audience preferences and bargaining ranges in the processes of negotiations themselves. By conducting qualitative interviews with trade negotiators and policy officers in the Canadian department of foreign affairs, this article emerges new insights and challenges posed by social media for MFAs and unpacks how social media changes the traditional bargaining model in diplomatic negotiations. The insights gleaned from these practical experiences have the potential to better inform policymakers on how to leverage the advantages offered by social media platforms as well as mitigate its harms.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
