Battleground models examine the intersection of politics, social life, and communication in Wisconsin, combining qualitative and computational analysis to study the hybrid communication system and its effects on nationalization, social structure, and conventional discourses.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 75 pages
Publication date: 04 August 2022
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


The intricate web of political communication in Wisconsin serves as a fertile ground for examining the complex interplay between politics, social life, and communication, leading to polarization and democratic decline. Through a comprehensive analysis spanning 10 years, encompassing interviews, news, social media content, and state-wide surveys, we employ a multi-faceted approach that combines qualitative and computational analysis with time-series and multi-level modeling. This innovative approach yields unique insights into the dynamics of nationalization, social structure, conventional discourses, and the lived experiences of individuals.

We delve into these concepts through in-depth case studies, focusing on immigration, healthcare, and economic development. Our findings reveal that while nationalization plays a significant role, the impact of these issues at the state level varies depending on the partisan actors involved. Partisan actors leverage their discursive power to shape public narratives and influence policy outcomes, highlighting the nuanced and complex dynamics that shape political communication in Wisconsin.

In conclusion, our study provides a comprehensive examination of the battleground models in Wisconsin, shedding light on the ways in which politics, social life, and communication intersect, leading to polarization and democratic decline. By employing a rigorous analytical approach, we uncover the unique insights that emerge from studying this hybrid communication system, contributing to our understanding of nationalization, social structure, and the broader political landscape.
