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 !

A great closing conference of the AUTHLIB @authlibeu.bsky.social at CEU in Budapest - thanks to all. The organizers and participants!

🗣️Finally, we heard from @caterinafr.bsky.social @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social showing how illiberalism is rising in France and how it influences the country's political landscape. 📚Stay tuned for our AUTHLIB Country Paper series including our Sciences Po team's paper on France!

💥 Our two-day concluding conference is already underway at the Central European University @weareceu.bsky.social! If you are in Budapest, come by today and tomorrow to learn about illiberalism in Europe from all the excellent scholars of Authlib and join our discussion!

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!

Interested in why public anti-immigrant sentiment is so geographically concentrated? Here's some work with @denis-cohen.bsky.social testing a new theory on how regional labour market risks and inter-regional migration shape long-term spatial polarisation. Just out in @bjpols.bsky.social 👇

Who better than @sldelange.bsky.social herself to learn more about the Dutch elections? @scpo-research.bsky.social

well done!

Did you know? 🤔 We’re 100% Gold Open Access ✅ Every article we publish is peer-reviewed, high quality, and free to read from day one. 😱 This #OpenAccessWeek, dive into research you can share without barriers. 📖✨

If you are a student (or staff member) at Sciences Po Paris, please join us Friday to discuss the outcome of the Dutch elections

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

I hate to give even more air to MG, but he is the canary in the coal mine. There are more and more scholars (including of the far right) that enable, normalize, or even support the far right in some form or another. And we should reflect on how we engage with them (individually and collectively).

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

Most young men in Britain, despite popular commentary, are *not* flocking to Reform UK. Just under 1/3 women would vote for Reform Just over 1/3 would vote for Reform. We *cannot* reject the null of gender gap homogeneity across cohorts.

Great take about the Dutch elections by a true expert @sldelange.bsky.social @unileiden.bsky.social.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

The narrative seems to be(come) that the Dutch election shows a “comeback of the political center”. We have seen this frame before, implying “the center” has an ideological substance and is stable. But “the center” keeps moving right on mostly nativist, but also often authoritarian, issues.

Very proud of you @tevoelker.bsky.social!

🚨 New publication alert! Social media is often seen as a catalyst for the transnational spread of far-right and anti-gender movements. But is it really? How does it work? My research examines how anti-gender movement organizations exchange across borders online. Curious about the findings? 🧵👇

Congratulations @dom-of-tronina.bsky.social, such a thrilling paper!
