✨Very happy to see my paper "Attitudinal ambivalence toward multiculturalism" out on @jeppjournal.bsky.social ! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/8 🧵

📢 New Publication 📢 📄 Review article in Nature Climate Change It examines how resistance to climate policy is reshaping politics & why populist right parties are the main beneficiaries? (with Valentina Bosseti, Italo Colantone & Giorgio Musto) Short 🧵 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

3) Moving right on immigration normalizes the radical right, their positions and rhetoric. Normalization is a key precondition for electoral expansion of the radical right. Programmatic accommodation and collaboration normalize the radical right and open new segments of the electorate for it.

Lots of talk about ‘left behind’ places & far-right’s rise. How do industrial decline, economic hardship, & resentment actually fuel far-right support? In new @apsrjournal.bsky.social paper exploring Xylella epidemic that devastated centuries-old 🫒 groves in 🇮🇹, we find out shorturl.at/xgeho

🚨New paper forthcoming @apsrjournal.bsky.social!🚨 How do economic shocks shape politics? We study a plant disease epidemic in Italy🌱—finding it fueled far-right support It’s not just economic loss but how shocks uproot communities and interact with perceptions of state neglect shorturl.at/ntKyt

Geographies of discontent: Public service deprivation and the rise of the far right in Italy by Simone Cremaschi, Paula Rettl, Marco Cappelluti, and Catherine E. De Vries is now available in Early View. @marcocappelluti.bsky.social @simonecremaschi.bsky.social ajps.org/2024/12/12/g...

Incredibly proud to share that our paper with @simonecremaschi.bsky.social , @paularettl.bsky.social and @catherinedevries.bsky.social has been published in @ajpseditor.bsky.social! We argue and empirically show that reduced access to public services fosters far-right support in Italy. 👇

⚠️Polisky WP: What are the political consequences of plant disease epidemics 🌱🦠? @catherinedevries.bsky.social, Nico Bariletto and I answer this question studying the outbreak of Xylella that exterminated olive groves in Puglia starting in 2013. What we find? See thread ⬇️ or: osf.io/preprints/os...

There will be many important elections in Europe next year, what can we learn from the recent results in the Netherlands? My take (feat. recent poli sci research, incl that of @simonecremaschi.bsky.social @marcocappelluti.bsky.social @paularettl.bsky.social & yours truly) on.ft.com/46GsPqx

⚠️New WP alert⚠️ With @paularettl.bsky.so @marcocappelluti.bsky.so and Catherine de Vries we study a 2010 reform in Italy to show that reducing local public service increases support for far-right parties. Thanks Harvard Business School WP series for having us! HBS WP: t.ly/C9up2 OSF: osf.io/5s2cu
