TWIN4DEM Glossary! 🧠 Computational Social Science (CSS):Think of society under a microscope 🎮—CSS uses big data, AI & simulations to study how we behave at scale. 🔹 Example: Predicting elections 🗳️, tracking misinformation 📢, modeling protests. #TWIN4DEM #CSS #BigData #AI

TWIN4DEM Glossary Series Begins! 👑 In Monopoly, one player (“The Executive”) changes the rules to win. That’s how leaders gradually expand power, weakening democratic checks. 🔹 Example: Turkey’s 2017 reforms gave the president more power while weakening oversight. #Democracy #PowerDynamics #TWIN4DEM
