Nothing beats rigor of in-person deliberation. Back from @egenpolisci.bsky.social spring conference @stanfordkingctr.bsky.social.

5/ Read the full paper (open access): www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #ClimateDisclosure #ShareholderActivism #ESG #FossilFuels #CorporateGovernance #ClimateStrategy

3/ Key takeaways: - Shareholder pressure has had limited effectiveness in driving real strategic change at fossil fuel companies as we show through firms' disclosure - Even resolutions often fail to translate into concrete action

2/ We ask: Does shareholder pressure actually push fossil fuel companies to change their climate strategy? As we rigorously show: not much.

New paper in @ajpseditor.bsky.social. Is descriptive representation good for substantive representation? Why do voters stay loyal to corrupt and poorly governing ethnic parties? I argue that we ought to focus less on patronage and more on dignity concerns. Defiant pride can come at a price. 1/🧵

The new paper from Adam Auerbach & @tanukumar.com, challenges the conventional understanding of urban peripheries as neglected zones & demonstrates them as crucial sites of negotiation, innovation & contestation.
