Mapping Climate Policy Scholarship in Political Science: BERTopic Findings from Top Journals

• In Event: Text as Data

Brief Overview

We map climate-policy scholarship in top political-science journals using BERTopic (SBERT+UMAP+HDBSCAN). Eight topics (~90% of 104 articles), validated by c-TF-IDF/coherence, reveal clusters on governance, security, resources, disasters, and opinion.
