This paper systematises the framing of the terrorism issue in the programmatic agenda of the Front national (FN) by focusing on nationalism. We argue that the FN's position on terrorism constitutes part of its strategy to justify its anti‐immigrant agenda by offering ideological rather than biological rationalisations for national belonging. To test our argument empirically, we operationalise four categories of nationalism, including ethno‐racial, cultural, political‐civic, and economic, and code official FN materials published in reaction to seven terrorist attacks on French soil during the period 1986–2015. We find that whilst older documents draw on all four categories, Marine Le Pen documents draw almost exclusively on the cultural and political‐civic categories, confirming our argument. Building on the “normalisation” or “de‐demonisation” approach, our nationalism framework presents a distinct theoretical advantage by allowing us to conceptualise the shift in the party's programmatic agenda.

American history textbooks for the USA's public schools act as quasiofficial loci for the renegotiation of national identity and are, as such, subject to much controversy. The choice of heroes and the way in which textbooks depict them display the interplay between competing visions of popular ethno-history and scholarly historiography. This article examines contemporary renegotiation of the national narrative through an analysis of the evolving representation of the USA's two most prominent traditional national heroes -George Washington and Abraham Lincolnin history textbooks for elementary-school students published from the early 1980s to 2003. This period marks the development of the multiculturalist movement and its subsequent conservative backlash, with debates intensifying in the wake of the events of 11 September 2001.

How methodology shaped the two lines of research identified in Kämmer et al. (2022) is explored in this short commentary. Behavioral research has generally used methodology with lab experiments and focused on advice utilization and whether advice can improve decision-making, but this line of research has been less able to study advice solicitation or the advising relationship. Organizational research has generally used survey methodology and examined solicitation of advice but due to the longitudinal nature of organizational decision-making, it has focused less on advice utilization. However, given trends in new methodology toward big data online and natural language processing, methods in the field of advice research are likely to change substantially in the coming decade.
