The presentation "Studying international attraction through public opinion surveys: Sinophone Borderlands project" and Latvian attitudes towards China will introduce a large scale survey of 56 countries worldwide conducted as part of the Sinophone Borderlands project at Palacky University Olomouc.
We will start with explanation of the survey methodology, data gathering, and other aspects of the survey organization. Subsequently, general global and European findings will be introduced, before zooming in on the findings for Latvia and its and perceptions of China and international affairs. The discussion will focus on how various sections of the Latvian society feel, and also what are the driving forces of Latvian attitudes towards China and international affairs in general.
