Extremism in the Media: Print Media Monitoring in the Principality of Liechtenstein (2010 –2016) Research Project

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the wide spectrum of possibilities offered by media monitoring for political science and the practice of social research of the determinants of political extremism. The author describes the theoretical framework of the relations between the mass media and the phenomenon of political extremism. The author also presents a case study – a research project being performed in the Principality of Liechtenstein (monitoring political extremism in social life). Liechtenstein is not a country particularly threatened by extremism, mainly due to its size (the state belongs to a group of European microstates), as well as close relations with a stable state in the field of extremism – the Swiss Confederation. Nevertheless, the research project has been implemented and developed for several years and its formula can also be applied to other countries. The applied research methods are limited to an analysis of the literature in reference to political extremism, the methods of media research, as well as desk research – presenting a case study.
