We couldn't have a better audience and venue for the first presentation of our forthcoming @oxfordunipress.bsky.social volume "Protests of the far right" based of Farpo.eu. Thanks for hosting us D. della Porta, @mportosg.bsky.social L.Zamponi & L. Bosi. @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social

The special issue of @cpsjournal.bsky.social “Back from the Brink: Countering Illiberalism in Liberal Democracies”, co-edited by myself and Isabela Mares, was just published. The issue includes 8 articles, many of which set new research agendas. A🧵w/overview 1/10 journals.sagepub.com/toc/CPS/curr...

Is there also a documentary that shows how reactionary centrists paved the way for the Nazi takeover by creating a moral panic about non-issues (like the 1920s equivalent of "wokeness")?

🎓 I am very happy to share that I have successfully defended my PhD dissertation, "Competition Between Equals: Mainstream Party Decline, Far-Right Evolution, and the Transformation of Party Competition in Western Europe", on Monday!

Sadly very accurate!

#DansLaPresse 📰 Dynamiques communes aux partis d'extrêmes droites en Europe et dans le monde, circulation et contagion des idées, liens entre extrêmes droites et classes populaires, ...

The full story of the situation in Florida. 1. Universities will no longer have (already censored) Intro to Sociology as general ed course. 2. Colleges will have far-right version of Intro to Sociology as general ed course.

Timely publication by brilliant @asheinze.bsky.social and @gefjonoff.bsky.social to understand the current wave of far-right politics. Proud to see this important piece featured in @ejprjournal.bsky.social

As we (rightly) focus on the threat of U.S. government funding far-right parties and "think tanks", this excellent @veghzsuzsanna.bsky.social report is an important reminder of the crucial role that the Orbán government already plays in developing and financing a far-right infrastructure in Europe.

Bravo @malojan.bsky.social !

Échange avec @lemonde.fr (merci!) sur l’extrême droite et l’érosion de la démocratie en #Italie. Non, cela n’arrive pas qu’en Europe de l’Est et aux US. @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social @scpo-research.bsky.social www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

Thanks @nikkei.com Japan for this interview about the far right in Europe. We spoke also about the differences with the far left and the role of civil society. farpo.eu @scpo-research.bsky.social @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

Radical right parties in Europe have not moderated. Their positions and rhetoric have entered the mainstream. They have become normalized and legitimized. Unless we understand this, we have little chance of countering their success.

After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low. European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths! Me in @theguardian.com

Massive congrats ‪@mrooduijn.bsky.social‬ and can't wait to see the amzing research that this grant will inspire!!

What issues matter most to #Voters? 😬 @gefjonoff.bsky.social & @fedetrastulli.bsky.social study 6 European countries to find that different groups care about different issues--and that what people care about isn’t the same as what they think about those issues. 🧭🗳️

Why are cities and rural areas drifting apart politically? 🌄🌆 @indubioproreto.bsky.social & @lhaffert.bsky.social conducted a long-term Swiss study to find the biggest divide is amongst younger generations who hold very different views depending on where they grew up 👶 🔎

Bravo @mariusperrin.bsky.social !

Merci aux collègues de toutes disciplines @ulbruxelles.bsky.social pour l’appréciation portée à Farpo.eu et à l’agenda de recherche qui anime ce projet et son équipe. Ce prix pour la diffusion scientifique et votre soutien nous encouragent à aller encore plus loin. 🙏

When and why protests reinforce institutional politics on the far right? "Protests of the Far Right" ed. with @pietrocastellig.bsky.social & @andreapirro.it is under contract @oxfordunipress.bsky.social with a terrific lineup of contributors who helped us covering & comparing 14 countries.

“even if [Europeans] cannot stop the attacks on US academia, different groups can help US-based academics in other ways.” My new op-Ed in @theguardian.com

📣 New publication! The second article of my postdoc project on the far right and anti-gender mobilization is now out #openaccess in #GermanPolitics doi.org/10.1080/0964... It examines antifeminism in far-right party politics through the case of AfD Key findings: Antifeminism ✅ Radicalization ✅

Looking forward to welcome Cristóbal R. Kaltwasser @sciencespo.bsky.social on Monday 1st December 12.30 - 2 pm for a joint seminar about populism and the far right in Europe and the Americas @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social @cdsp-sciencespo.bsky.social @cevipof.bsky.social @scpo-research.bsky.social

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hâte de participer à ce débat. Merci Grand Continent & @normalesup.bsky.social pour l'organisation et l'invitation. @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social

Thanks again @sciencespo.bsky.social library for having organized this, to panel participants and to the audience for the insightful exchanges. Great to introduce @ejprjournal.bsky.social to French speaking research students!
