Populist and Crisis Communication during Political Crisis: Thematic Content Analysis of Pakistani Politicians’ Speeches
Steering away from the Global North, this research focuses on Pakistan's dynamic and crisis-ridden political landscape. It specifically examines the intricate realm of populist and crisis communication strategies used by key political figures during the critical no-confidence vote of 2022. Through thematic content analysis of the speeches of prominent politicians—Imran Khan, Maryam Nawaz, and Shahbaz Sharif—it explores differences in both populist and crisis communication to identify unique communication styles and common elements in these speeches. This research goes beyond the Western geographic focus to reveal the intricate interactions between populist and crisis communication in a region facing significant historical and contemporary challenges. It adds valuable knowledge to the field of political communication by analyzing the subtle tactics used by politicians during crises, setting a base for further studies on how these strategies influence public opinion and political stability.
