No longer on a weekly basis, but I could not resist .... open.substack.com/pub/adamprze...

Exceptionally informative.

Beliefs in conspiracies cannot be shaken by anything. Denials are interpreted as confirmations. "Full disclosure" only raises suspicions that something is being hidden. This is inherent in the logic of conspiracies.

Here is WEEK 22: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-22 It will be the last one at least for the foreseeable future.

WEEK 21: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-21

Still at it: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-20

What a disclosure that it is by my co-author, I find this paper to be both intellectually profound and technically path-breaking. Not easy, but truly worth reading.

Yet another week: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-19

I am still at it, even if running out of steam: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-18

Here is yet another week: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-17

Capitalism & democracy The capitalism-democracy relationship has been studied from what I call a power structure perspective (top row) & a political economy one (bottom row)👇 A key issue this literature grapples with are the precise conditions under which capitalism & democracy are compatible

Here is WEEK 16: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-16

If you want to understand Poland, read Andrzej Szczypiorski, The Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman.

Here is WEEK 15: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-15

Esta observación se debe a Paola Bergallo, no a mí.

No longer daily but I am still at it: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-14

I cleaned the cumulative version of the Diary, mainly because one week was repeated but also because there were some spelling mistakes. Otherwise, it is untouched. For the record: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

Last update on a daily basis: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-13, also in the cumulative text: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary.

I vaguely remember a paper in which the government makes a large unpopular step, then backs part way, and increases its support. Does anyone know of such a paper?

Now it is WEEK 12: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-12. As always, also appended to the running Diary: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

Here is WEEK 11: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-11 Also appended to the entire Diary: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

I have been staying away from purely political posts but the attack on Wikipedia is more than I can bear. Wikipedia is the most valuable intellectual resource of the internet era. The MAGA crowd is not just against science, it is against knowledge.

Good paper. Makes a lot of sense of recent political dynamics.

I join in congratulations.

Here is WEEK 10: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-10 Also included in the entire Diary: adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

WEEK 9 open.substack.com/pub/adamprze... Sorry, I made a mess in the previous version

Here is WEEK 9 alone. adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/week-9

I am still at it, because of many reactions. WEEK 9 is appended here adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary and sent as a separate post to subscribers.

Democracy Under Strain is available online now (print version out 24 April). If you're interested in democratic accountability, supranational governance, or the politics of crisis, this book is for you. academic.oup.com/book/59807 #DemocracyUnderStrain (end)

DIARY with WEEK 8. I also sent it to subscribers as a separate WEEK 8 file. adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

🚨New paper out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social with Torben Iversen: doi.org/10.1177/0010... We empirically separate economic factors from cultural backlash as competing explanations for right-wing populism, and find evidence for the former. We define the concept of “unfunded public goods.” 🧵

I am still at it, even if I find it hard to bear. Here is the update through WEEK 7. adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

Here is the update through Week 6, early because I am traveling. adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

Here is an update of the Diary. Scroll to WEEK 5. adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

Interesting. Two comments. (1) Interaction between gender and marital status would matter. (2) Income should be used non-linearily.

Republicans are a party, Democrats are a coalition.

Week 4 of my Diary is now included in my Substack. Current subscribers can just scroll to "WEEK 4." adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary

I am afraid they will not present a united front because some will want to benefit from the attack on others, prisoner's dilemma.

It seems I messed up by creating a new Substack for each new week. Now the three weeks are consolidated under adamprzeworski.substack.com/p/diary Everyone who subscribed to Week 1 can access it; others will have to subscribe. I will update it once a week for as long as I can bear it.

This may be best!

They also need to massage the inflation data.

See papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... We find that backsliding occurs (1) When the incumbent's followers tolerate violations of democracy, so that the incumbent backslides with popular support, or (2) When the incumbent exceeds the limits of tolerance, so it can stay in power only if it backslides.
