European security narratives
The European Security Monitor is a public research project created and developed by Kedma Hamelberg, PhD. It examines how European security is framed in public videos and official government communications, and how audiences respond in retained comments. Its country directory covers 51 countries; source availability and successful collection vary by country. The dashboard reports its current coverage and marks government sources whose automatic collection is still pending.
What can you explore?
The research covers defence, sovereignty, territory and borders, diplomacy, information influence, civil protection, energy and other security topics when the source provides relevant evidence. A communication can discuss several topics. The interactive dashboard lets readers inspect the recorded material, compare narrative patterns across countries and follow links to original sources. Country tags describe the subject of a source, not the location or nationality of its audience.
Government communications and daily collection
Official government news sections supply dated communications. Collection records include routine official releases as well as material assessed as security related. The total collected is therefore different from the count marked related. Narrative charts use related communications with valid classifications. Availability differs across national archives, and a failed retrieval does not establish that a government published nothing. The source listing shows publication dates and review status so readers can check a result against its official release.
Public videos and audience response
The video sample provides a separate view of public communication. Saved English text supports automated topic and framing classifications. Retained comments are analysed for message alignment and sentiment, with human reviewed labels distinguished from provisional AI results. Views, likes and comment counters describe observed engagement and may change after collection. They do not identify unique viewers, measure national public opinion or demonstrate that a message changed behaviour.
How should findings be interpreted?
Read each pattern alongside its collection window, source coverage and classification status. AI translation and classification can make mistakes; the Monitor uses evidence checks and human review, while displaying remaining gaps. A difference between countries can reflect archive coverage, language, sampling or publication volume as well as substantive communication. The project studies observed framing and audience response; its results do not establish hostile intent, threat attribution, a real-time security assessment or causal influence.
