Please share this thread. It is important that political scientists, in Europe and across the world, understand why EPSS exists and why we are encouraging people to attend our inaugural conference, in Belfast next June.

Interesting thread by Tarik Abou-Chadi using CHES 2024

I am looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work with me in a project on social cleavages and political party competition in Europe: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Happy to answer any questions, and thanks in advance for circulating the call!

Great new book, highly recommended for party and election scholars. We just read it in my PhD parties class paired with Lipset/Rokkan and @liesbethooghe.bsky.social/Marks on transnational cleavage.

We find that (1) education structures voting for GAL and TAN parties in Western Europe; (2) social structuration is as high as for classic social democratic parties in the 1950s; (3) education structures also Republicans and Democrats. Open access, and on our homepages.

Excellent!

High quality work on immigration flows and RR backlash. Must read.

The real challenge of our time indeed -- losing the modern state (and rule of law) to patrimonialism (and strongmanism).

Support Wikipedia if you can!

Congratulations!

This article on "(North Carolina) Republican pastors and the use of force" was a COVID passion that is out in Religion & Politics, and -- let's say-- remains topical. With thanks to my co-authors Stephanie Shady and Gary Marks. North Carolina, you're very much on my mind. doi.org/10.1017/S175...

Just co-authored a paper explaining party support for Ukraine in 29 countries using CHES data. Many thanks to all experts who provided assessments. You can check out our LSE blog at blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2.... The paper is Open Access at European Union Politics: doi.org/10.1177/1465...

Last evening of two amazing weeks in Amsterdam. visited many favorite haunts, met old friends and made new ones at Theresa Kuhn's workshop on Identity, said hello to Vermeer and Van Gogh, got an R&R done in Cafe Boca, and enjoyed the festive lights along the canals. Amsterdam, we'll be back!
