Research Structure & Specialized Units
The structure of Bunyan is based on three interconnected areas:
- Strategic Studies
- Public Opinion and Data Analysis
- Media Studies
This integration allows for an understanding of transformations from multiple perspectives, combining field realities, their representation in public opinion, and their reflections in media discourse, while ensuring that the analysis is not reduced to a single approach but rather incorporates diverse regional perspectives. Bunyan does not operate as a single-specialized center, but rather as a network of research units that complement each other to provide a complex and coherent analysis.
