Capital and rural people much more likely to view…
As a quick follow up to this post, here are the frequencies of trust in various groups in Azerbaijan from the 2012 social capital and media CRRC study. No comparisons exist for the other countries.

My favorite day of the year is here! No, not Fat Tuesday – but new Caucasus Barometer data day! I’ll be posting a variety of analyses over the coming weeks, but here’s the one everyone loves – percent of adult Internet users in each country. First, let us all acknowledge that I hate talking about…
Somehow I will be unlocking a major nerd achievement and will be speaking at SXSWi on March 8. My panel is called The LOLs of Nations: Understanding Global Memes. (We will also have a discussion of the panel at the Beacon Lounge immediately after the panel.) My talk is loosely based on these two papers…
