linkfluence has used its
social web opinion leader live panels
for
France
,
Germany
, the
Netherlands
,
Italy
and the
EU public affairs
sphere to analyse the manner in which
national political communities
relate to
European circles
online and to
European current events
.The interactions (linking dynamics and patterns) between theaforementioned communities have been analysed using a social-graph-mapping approach, over a ± one-year period, so as to apprehend the
waythese communities engage one another
.In addition, using linkfluence’s monitoring tools, the
level of interest of each national sphere for the designation of the President of theEuropean Council
has been measured (from the 5
th
to 19
th
of November,i.e. the two-week period immediately preceding this designation).Glossary
