Such a pleasure and learning experience to have Federica in Aarhus yesterday to examine Karl Møller’s dissertation together with Wiebke Junk. Thanks for coming! Great discussions on a great dissertation. I special day for me as the main supervisor!

Subnational party organisations stick to the issue ownership of their national parties (we expand the data by @henrikseeberg.bsky.social to the subnational level). For example, Greens devote more attention to the issue "agriculture, environment, energy, climate" than other parties in 🇦🇹 & 🇩🇪.

Thanks European Inst at LSE @lse-ei.bsky.social for a great time!!

A truly amazing time & research stay w my family in London is soon coming to an end. Incredibly grateful for warm hospitality & lots of fun lunches, coffees and discussions at LSE with @miguelpereira.bsky.social, @sarahobolt.bsky.social, @florianfoos.bsky.social. 1/

Some thoughts and pointers on the upcoming German elections on Sunday. Nearly all polling institutes have released final polls in the last days that show a very similar picture. It is nearly certain that the CDU/CSU will come out on top and Friedrich Merz is going to be the next Chancellor. 1/

Important position to fill at EJPR

This is a pretty cool study! 😉

Our article “Which Information Do Politicians Pay Attention To? Evidence from a Field Experiment and Interviews” (w/ @henrikseeberg.bsky.social ) is part of the latest @bjpols.bsky.social issue. This was such a fun project to work on, and I learned a lot from it. OA Link: doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Thanks for the kind words, Hugo. Indeed very exciting to see this paper on youth wing influence in political parties online at Journal of Politics. First output from the 4-year YOUTHPOL project on the same topic. Much more to come..

We all know the amazing work of Weber and De Sio on ‘Issue Yield’. But few use it concretely beyond the appealing logic of bridge issue to cater to core & potential voters. I provide a simpler & more applicable way forward on this logic by using a split in issue ownership to select campaign issue👇🏼

On 8-9 April, I will be organizing LoPaPol, a conference specifically on Local Party Politics in Leiden. If you are working on research on the role of parties in local politics, please come and visit us! fd24.formdesk.com/universiteit...

Recent research questions political parties' issue ownership & its use to understand parties, voters & elections because a person's issue ownership choice correlates with his party preference.. 1/2

Parties emphasize issues on which they have ownership to mobilize core voters and appeal to potential voters. ..But who do parties actually target via their issue ownership? In an new WP (link below), I split issue ownership into 'issue core' & 'issue potential' and show that..

Our article "Inside Party Youth Wings: The YOUMEM Project" is online today & open access in Party Politics: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... [A wee thread 🧵]

Vores nye studie (sammen med @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social og @henrikseeberg.bsky.social i @thejop.bsky.social) viser, at kandidater, der tabte kommunalvalget 2021, var mere bekymrede for valgets retfærdighed. #dkpol #dkmedier Læs mere: doi.org/10.1086/734240 eller osf.io/preprints/os...

Publication alert - now online @thejop.bsky.social: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

The super election year is ending, with many winners and losers. Our new @thejop.bsky.social paper, (@henrikseeberg.bsky.social, @martinbaekgaard.bsky.social ) asks: How do winning and losing candidates see elections? Spoiler: Losers are more concerned about fairness. Link: doi.org/10.1086/734240

Thanks Wilma 🐶 for sharing our latest research! I owe you 🦴

Chasing water falls in the weekends w our 🛸 amidst piles of exam papers to grade. January is surely a little more fun down under 🦘

But first family time at K’Gari far from 🖥️🎮🔌, but high on 🌊🩴🕶️

Thrilled to kickstart my project on youth politics and 2024 w a stay at Griffith Uni to visit @duncanmcdonnell.bsky.social & @ammassarisofia.bsky.social 💫🇦🇺🦘. So far spectacular welcome to Brisbane ⚡️🌈

Anyone?

Bluesky brain help me: Where is the magic database w the official Facebook homepage address of each of the political parties across western democracies? ✨🙏

Thanks Or Tuttnauer @ortutt.bsky.social for travelling all the way from Mannheim to the Party Politics Speaker Series @AarhusUni to give a fascinating talk on opposition/government conflict+cooperation across Western parliaments & its impact on voter satisfaction w democracy. Truly inspiring!

It is time to turn around the telescope to focus on mainstream parties in their own right! Since Meguid (2008) we have focused almost entirely on niche parties to understand mainstream parties. Christoffer Green-Pedersen & I show that... (1/)

My wife is sick with pneumonia on day 7 and handed the 4 children over to me, so I have to find other places and people to celebrate with.. 🍾

The nice office view is the same, the shitty weather in Denmark too, but I am thrilled to be promoted to full professor!

Throwback to Thursday where @peterla.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk in Aarhus on his forthcoming book "Party Families in W. Europe". Much prominent party-voter research relies on the classification across countries of the greens, socialists etc. But do such families exist at all?

I brought my daughter to work today. Today she will nanny our nephew baby-August while I do a training session for the Sapere Aude public lecture series on my youth politics project. Tomorrow we will interview MPs. She gets 💉of the 🦠 that bit me 🎯😁

Waiting for people to start following my wife @mbechseeberg.bsky.social so that it does not look weird that I follow her to get the latest on African elections and female candidate roadblocks (w 4 kids at home I rarely get to talk non-practical w her, so I really rely on SoMe!) [pic from Sat night]

Beautiful morning on the ferry leaving Aarhus and a special day in the office for sure. First interviewing parliamentarians and then attending an award ceremony where I will officially receive my Sapere Aude grant from the head of the Danish Research Council 🕺🍾

Next up in the Migration & Ethnicity Workshop at Aarhus University is Tim Allinger: "When institutionalized minority exclusion legitimizes hate crimes: The case of the nomad camps in Italy." All welcome 🤗 migcitsky polisky

Tillykke Kees van Kersbergen! What an amazing celebration and gift from gifted scholars 🎂🎁🎈

NEW PUBLICATION.. ..in which fuse negative campaigning and party issue competition & hatch a new+stronger model of party behavior in parliament between elections. 1/

We also had the pleasure of Barbara Vis on Friday, who gave a powerful presentation of her ERC project on decision-makers’ uncertainty, and took part in our celebrations of Kees van Kersbergens birthday 🎂

Thanks @rozemarijnvandijk.bsky.social for an inspiring talk on gendered candidate selection among party members, Thursday at our Party Politics Speaker Series in Aarhus. Keep an eye out on her, she is soon on the job market. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

For Danish politics, find and add the dkpol feed! And tag using dkpol #dkpol #dkpolsky. Thanks @saorhan.bsky.social & @annebind.bsky.social

And yes, @zeljkopoljak.bsky.social, I'm still on the remote wire at your defense, and I hear you. Thanks!

"The Croatian bullet that can write and publish faster than his shadow". Congrats, @zeljkopoljak.bsky.social! So impressive dissertation on negative campaigning.
