The research is run under 3 titles;

(Eg. MIDDLE EAST; political campaigning in general, instead of focusing on elections. ASIA; particularly India elections. US; Howard Dean campaign, last presidential election, open data usage, lobbying activities. EUROPE; European Parliament elections, Pirate Party activities, early activists like Lovink. AFRICA: Ushahidi, cell phone usage.)


2) THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVE which contains the data from Turkey.

(Eg. Recent local elections, Gezi literature, is electronic voting suitable for Turkey, what more could have been done for an honest election.)


3) THE 2014 INSIGHT which merges together all data and aims to create an insight for the 2014 Presidential Election in Turkey.
