How can we research the impact of European human rights rulings?
Episode 21
Monday, 10 November, 2025
In this episode, we begin our conversation with Dr. José Reis, Research Analyst at the Portuguese National Cybersecurity Center, and Dr. Marcel Garz, Associate Professor at Jönköping University in Sweden, about how media attention influences compliance with human rights rulings.Drawing on their 2024 article published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, “Media Attention and Compliance with the European Court of Human Rights,” they explore whether — and how — media coverage of the European Court of Human Rights’ decisions can increase the likelihood that states actually comply with them.They take us behind the scenes of their innovative research, revealing the complex process of gathering data from dozens of countries and building models to measure media influence — all before the rise of large language models. The discussion also highlights the power of interdisciplinary collaboration between law, political science, and media research in understanding international accountability.How does public attention shape governments’ willingness to respect human rights? Why is compliance with international law so dependent on information diffusion? And what can these findings tell us about the relationship between transparency, democracy, and justice in Europe today? Join us for this first part of a fascinating conversation that bridges media studies, data science, and human rights law.🧠 Topics Covered:📰 How media coverage can influence compliance with ECtHR rulings 🌍 The challenges of cross-national data collection in 46 countries 🧮 Using econometric and causal inference methods to study compliance 💬 The role of information diffusion in international law 🤝 Building interdisciplinary collaboration between law and media research 💡 The potential of media visibility to strengthen human rights accountability👤 About the Guests:Dr. José Reis is a Research Analyst at the Portuguese National Cybersecurity Center.
