The problem of building a political dialogue in the conditions of a political crisis is considered. The concepts of «dialogue», «political dialogue», and «compromise» are analyzed. Attention is focused on the problem of building a dialogue between states during the war. The attributes of political dialogue that allow creating a platform for mutual understanding are highlighted. These are: the presence of two or more participants with their characteristics and differences; mutual exchange of information, subject to the opportunity to speak; readiness to understand the point of view of the other party; development of a common language, dialogue conditions, or other features; the presence of a third party as a guarantor of compliance with international law and approval of the agreements reached. The informational and psychological aspect of the political crisis is analyzed. The informational and psychological aspect of the political crisis is analyzed. The importance of preparing citizens for political dialogue is determined.

Cause-and-effect relationships between the use of information and communication technologies and the effectiveness of political dialogue between participants in a political conflict at the interstate level have been revealed. The main components of informational and psychological warfare, which must be taken into account in order to build a political dialogue, are highlighted.

The information and communication technologies used by the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine are analyzed. Factors that may become the basis of civilized interaction in the future are considered. Effective mechanisms of political dialogue are defined.

AbstractBetween 1994 and 2007, the author facilitated over fifty residential three‐day political dialogue workshops at the Glencree Centre for Reconciliation outside Dublin during the negotiation phase of the Northern Ireland peace process. This article describes the structure and methodology of the workshops at second track level and how politicians from all the political parties in Ireland and Britain arrived at new intergroup understandings and forged new political relationships. It identifies four layers of the interactive dialogue space and the role of the facilitator in shaping the dialogue over multiple encounters.

Spaces for social and political dialogue within communities and across social levels in inequitable contexts generally do not incorporate difference across community, or enable the most marginalized people to participate meaningfully. In this article, we propose that participatory video can contribute to building agonistic pluralism, namely a recognition of the unavoidable tensions between perspectives, and maintaining, rather than erasing, difference when working towards positive change. We draw on our comparable experience using participatory video methodologies to consider how it can be used to progressively build agency and deeper criticality, address difference across communities and to collectively construct political leverage.

In recent years, we have witnessed an increasing consolidation of different realms where citizens can deliberate and discuss a variety of topics of general interest, including politics. The comments on news posts in online media are a good example. The first theoretical contributions called attention to the potential of those spaces to build a healthy (civic and participatory) public sphere, going much deeper in the process of political dialogue and deliberation (Fung, Gilman & Shkabatur, 2013; Lilleker & Jackson, 2008; O'Reilly, 2005; Stromer-Galley & Wichowski, 2011). Polarization has been configured as a constant feature of the quality of the mentioned dialogues, particularly in Mediterranean countries (polarized pluralists' cases). One of the research challenges at the moment has to do with the scrutiny of polarization within the political deliberation provoked by news stories. The goal of this article is the analysis of political dialogue from the perspective of the polarization in the increasingly popular network YouTube, which is presenting very particular characteristics. Using a sample of almost 400,000 posted comments about diverse topics (climate change, the Catalonian crisis, and Political parties' electoral ads) we propose an automated method in order to measure polarization. Our hypothesis is that the number of comments (quantitative variable) is positively related to their polarization (qualitative variable). We will also include in the examination information about the ideological editorial line of newspapers, the type of topic under discussion, the amount of traceable dialogue, etc. We propose an index to (1) measure the polarization of each comment and use it to show how this value has behaved over time; and (2) verify the hypothesis using the average polarization of comments for each video.
