WORKSHOP 13:
Experimental Methods
Dr. Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
How can experimental methods improve our study of political questions? This
workshop is intended to offer an introduction to experimental methods, and
present various types of experiments available for political and social
researchers. We will begin by understanding the general defining characteristics
of an experimental design. Next, we will discuss the different types of
experimental designs available; these include laboratory, survey-embedded,
field, and natural experiments. The discussion will address the general
characteristics, strengths and weakness, and substantive social science examples
of each type of these experimental designs.
The workshop is intended for graduate and recent PhDs interested in political
and social science, broadly defined. The number of places is limited. Participants
are encouraged to present their work in order to receive feedback and advice
concerning publication in a major journal. The syllabus and further details
relating to the workshop will be posted on the conference website.

Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He completed his PhD at Oxford University in 2006. His
research focuses on cognitive aspects of political decisions and behavior of both citizens and
elites (elected officials and judges). His current research projects address the role of
reputation in institutional cooperation, the role of (perceived) power in shaping policy
preferences; the nature of effectiveness judgments, and legal proportionality in public
policy. He has published in the British Journal of Political Science, Governance, Journal of
Public Administration Research and Theory, Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Public
Administration, and Administration & Society.

WORKSHOP 14:
Field Experiments in the Social Science
Prof. Guy Stecklov
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Experiments, particularly field experiments, have entered into many social
science disciplines relatively recently and their utilization remains very uneven
and limited. Yet, experiments are becoming increasingly available and offer
unique opportunities for social scientists to study important behavioral and
methodological questions. This workshop is focused on presenting the use of
field experiments and showing how they can be used. We will examine both the
design of such experiments as well as the methodologies that can be usefully
applied to analyze their results.

Guy Stecklov is a demographer and the chair of the department of sociology and
anthropology at Hebrew University. He works on various questions linking population
change and resources constraints in developing countries. In recent years his work has
shifted towards the use of various types of experimental designs to examine these
questions. He is increasingly involved in planning and carrying out field experiments
using sample surveys as a social laboratory. In this context, he is focused on learning
how various dimensions of social interaction between individuals can be altered under
different conditions and how data quality might be improved. This work has both
substantive and methodological implications.

WORKSHOP 15:
Social Network Analysis
Prof. Ilan Talmud
University of Haifa
Network theory aims at explaining social phenomena in a wide variety of
disciplines from sociology,
anthropology,
psychology,
political science,
international relations, geography, and economics. The construction of the
theory in formal terms enables researchers to come up with uniquely deductive
methodology. This continuous development has significantly enriched social
sciences in areas of inquiries as diverse as: social support, health, and well-being;
community social capital and civic engagement; the structural analysis of
markets in economic sociology; policy networks; and internet studies.
This workshop provides an overview of the use of social network analysis, and
coming up with an analytical summary of the basic assumptions, concepts, goals,
and explanatory mechanisms prevalent in the field. Modes of data gathering and
sampling will be discussed as well. The workshop will also demonstrate
methodological problems of whole network analysis and ego network analysis,
and the ways in which the field is moving from static, cross-sectional design into
dynamic design, capturing the co-evolution of networks and behavior.

areas such as: Internet and society, economic sociology, social capital and knowledge
management, political sociology, international relations, and gender and social
stratification. He conducts extensive studies (with Gustavo Mesch) on Internet and
social networks, adolescents and Internet, inter-organizational relations, the impact of
online and off-line social networks on place attachment and political involvement, on
relational patterns among venture capital funds in Israel.

Text & Data Mining:
Using Computers' Abilities to Find and Analyze Data
Mr. Zvi Ben-Ami

The focus of this workshop is on methods and tools for obtaining, processing and
analyzing digital data. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to
introducing general terms, approaches and challenges associated with the fields
of Text and Data Mining. The second part of the workshop will be devoted to
demonstrating some specific applications and tools for crawling websites,
analyzing structured and unstructured data and visualizing the results.

WORKSHOP 17:
Facet Theory
Partial Order Scaling in Political Analysis
Prof. Volker Schneider
University of Konstanz
Partial order scaling is a specific scaling method for the ordering, mapping, and
ranking of qualitative and quantitative data. Based on facet theory it has been
widely used in psychology. Recently this method also has diffused to other
scientific disciplines. In political analysis it can be useful for the mapping and
scaling of institutional and relational structures, and in particular for creation of
indicators based on advanced data reduction strategies. The focus of this
workshop is on research strategies and tools for using this method in political
analysis. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to introducing general
terms, basic assumptions, concepts, goals, and various applications in the field.
The second part of the workshop concentrates on specific software tools for
analysis and visualization in partial order scaling.

WORKSHOP 18:
Discourse Network Analysis
Heike Brugger
University of Konstanz
Although political processes are strongly influenced by discourses at various
levels (political, public, scientific, etc.), policy analysis has not yet covered this
research area with sufficient detail and precision. Discourse Network Analysis
aims to fill this gap. It is an approach which combines social network analysis
with content analysis, and allows the systematic identification of discourse
structures in a variety of textual documents. The importance of specific
arguments in a debate can be identified as well as central actors within a
discourse. Furthermore the Discourse Network Analysis allows discovering
discourse coalitions, based on the similarity of statements and arguments.
The first part of the workshop will be devoted to the question of how discourses
can matter within political processes and gives an overview of current discourse
network research.
In the second part of the workshop participants will get a practical introduction
into the software Discourse Network Analyzer (DNA), as well as a basic
introduction to the software visone, which is a great tool to visualize the
ascertained networks. By the end of the workshop the participants will be able to
analyze and visualize their own basic discourse networks.
