What are we explore
Society
We conduct quantitative and qualitative sociological research to find out what Belarusians think about the political situation in the country and current events, what worries them and which media and politicians they trust.
Image of Belarus and digitalization
We study political narratives in the media and social networks, as well as the image of Belarus in foreign media.
POLITICAL SYSTEM
The West, East, or neutrality? CNI researchers study what the foreign policy of Belarus could look like, as well as the most stable and vulnerable areas in Belarus.
Regions
We study how the Belarusian regions feel, what problems they face, what concerns the residents of small towns and what can be done about it.
