Tom Hunter, Natasha Wunsch and Marie-Eve Bélanger argue that Russia’s war has exposed the double-edged nature of European discourse. The EU has long sustained itself through words; now language has become strategy, shaping what is politically possible. For the EU to endure, this rhetorical power must become institutional commitment
Tom's work sits at the intersection of domestic and international politics.
His research explores how international institutions are framed, presented, and blamed (or not) in domestic public spheres, and what this means for their legitimacy.
Tom collects large, original datasets of communication by political elites and analyses them with cutting-edge quantitative text analysis techniques.
His work has appeared in TheJournal of Politics, the Journal of European Public Policy, The Review of International Organizations, EU Politics, and the Journal of Common Market Studies.
