Disinformation is an emerging global issue that threatens democracy and societal stability. It often usesnarratives that align with pre-existing beliefs shaped by cultural, historical, and political contexts andnational identities.My research seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of these contexts in smaller, more vulnerablecountries. The primary aim is to understand the impact of disinformation campaigns on public perception,decision-making, and behaviour in these nations and to identify how different cultural and historicalcontexts are used. Additionally, longitudinal studies will be conducted to observe the evolution ofdisinformation narratives over time, with a focus on how international and domestic events influence thesenarratives, using computational methods such as social media analysis. Ultimately, my research willdevelop and test possible strategies to counter disinformation in smaller countries.The expected contributions of this research include a deeper theoretical understanding of howdisinformation operates in diverse cultural and political settings, as well as practical strategies formitigating its effects. This research aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, mediaorganisations, and civil society in their efforts to combat disinformation.

虚假信息是一个新出现的全球性问题，威胁着民主和社会稳定。它经常使用与由文化，历史和政治背景以及国家身份塑造的预先存在的信仰相一致的叙述。我的研究旨在深入了解较小，更容易理解的国家的这些背景。主要目的是了解这些国家的虚假信息运动对公众认知，决策和行为的影响，并确定如何使用不同的文化和历史背景。此外，还将进行纵向研究，观察虚假信息叙述随时间的演变，重点是国际和国内事件如何影响这些叙述，使用计算方法，如社交媒体分析。最终，我的研究将开发和测试在较小国家对抗虚假信息的可能策略。这项研究的预期贡献包括对虚假信息如何在不同文化和政治环境中运作的更深入的理论理解，以及减轻其影响的实际策略。这项研究旨在为政策制定者、媒体组织和民间社会提供有价值的见解，帮助他们努力打击虚假信息。
