Our great pioneers of the scientific study of mass behavior didn't have much evidence to support their confident conclusions.

Today is a good day to remind you that none of the classic vote studies thought very highly of women's political competence.

Given the almost universal malaise of liberal democracies, it amazes me that people still think that the way out is institutional reform. Mainstream parties have failed in all systems and far-right parties have succeeded in all systems. More importantly, people are dissatisfied in all systems.

Estoy convencido que en Costa Rica no habrá nunca un tren eléctrico urbano... Corrijo: habrá en el momento en que los trenes eléctricos estén desfasados por una mejor tecnología.

In the last 6 months, our wee study of Gen-Z voters & non-voters in Australia has been the 3rd most read of all articles ever published in Political Studies. You can read it too, open access, here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Por si conocen a alguna persona interesada

Según el más reciente estudio de Actualidades de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), apenas cuatro de cada 100 costarricenses leen al menos un libro al año. Entre quienes se consideran lectores frecuentes, el promedio es de apenas cinco libros anuales. www.teletica.com/calle-7/solo...

Keohane y Nye literalmente citan a Michael Scott cuando dicen: "it is better yet to be both feared and loved".

The Portuguese far right party CH has been growing spectacularly, shattering views of the country as immune to this phenomenon. This has prompted a discussion about where their votes come from. Some thoughts on this, prompted by newly released survey data:

We were lucky enough to have our YouGov/The Economist poll in field when the US bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. You can see the partisan realignment in real time

‼️ Impact Factors for 2024 were recently released and JPLA has got a score of 2.1. This is a notable increase on last year’s score and in political science ranking: we went up to category 92/322 from 126/318 last year 👏 @giga-hamburg.de

Por más políticos que citen a Habermas!

Vi Conclave. Tiene muchas fortalezas—actuaciones, locaciones—pero la historia al final me decepcionó. Tampoco me encantaron los estereotipos nacionales: italiano histriónico y retrógrada, africano agresivo, latinoamericano humilde (la otra opción es narco), gringo progresista e inglés detective.

La película Oppenheimer ha crecido en mí luego de verla tres veces. Ahora me gusta más que Killers of the Flower Moon (y eso es decir mucho). Además siento que dado el ambiente político actual es más pertinente que nunca.

I wrote this personal reflection on 30 years of researching and teaching far-right politics. It is not very uplifting, but you might find it of interest anyway.

Esta semana (lol) me estoy convenciendo que no deberíamos ni de hablar de métodos cualitativos como una categoría general. ¿Que tanto sentido tiene poner en una sola bolsa análisis histórico comparado o rastreo de proceso con teoría fundamentada o análisis temático?

Once upon a time, we complained that "ethnic cleansing" was too sterile a euphemism to describe the forced removal and often violent expulsion of a racial or religious minority from a region. And now the press can't even bring itself to use *that* term.

Western European men in their twenties show the sharpest rise in considering the far right. Women in their twenties remain less likely to consider the far right. Great article from @tabouchadi.bsky.social: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...
