Online Foreign Information Operations Targeting Elections
MARGOT FULDE-HARDY
CAMILLE FRANÇOIS
In 2016, a large-scale information operation targeted the US presidential election, catalyzing new fields of study and practices on the modern practices of foreign interference. Researchers still lack a unified view and analytical framework to make sense of these operations. To help put these in perspective and to encourage further research on information operations online, the Institute of Global Politics (IGP) released a comprehensive dataset expanding upon existing databases of foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) spanning 2014 to 2024 and specifically targeting elections.
The database will help researchers, journalists, and policymakers contextualize issues associated with online information operations risks ahead of worldwide elections in 2024 and beyond, as well as global events such as the Olympic Games and recently exposed persistent campaigns moving to new platforms.
Margot Fulde-Hardy is a former researcher at the French Agency in charge of countering foreign information manipulation (VIGINUM), and Investigator at Graphika. This research was conducted with the Institute of Global Politics, independent of and prior to her current and former affiliations.
Camille François is an Assistant Professor of Professional Practice in the Faculty of International and Public Affairs and IGP Affiliated Faculty at Columbia SIPA

Reducing Administrative Burdens
ALEX HERTEL-FERNANDEZ
Each year, millions of individuals, families, and small businesses eligible for public benefits or services fail to receive the support to which they’re entitled as a result of administrative burdens – the time, stress, and resources it takes to complete required applications and processes. IGP Faculty Advisory Board Member and Associate Professor of International and Public Affairs, Alex Hertel-Fernandez, participated in a webinar hosted by The Scholars Strategy Network and Washington Center for Equitable Growth on how academics can write comments to the federal government to reduce administrative burdens.
