I’m very excited to share that my paper “Cleavage theory meets civil society: A framework and research agenda” with @eborbath.bsky.social & Swen Hutter has now been published online in ‪@wepsocial.bsky.social‬ (w/ open access funding thanks to @wzb.bsky.social‬!) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If you want to know why the capital of Central Europe became the city of ideas that created the modern world & what the house of Austria has to do with this I can recommend reading first Martyn Rady's "The Habsburgs" & then Richard Cockett's "Vienna" - 2 excellent & witty books.

I think the headline should be "US votes with Russia against UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine"

How does the “mental load” of taking care of family and household influence decisions about participating in public life? In a new @bjpols.bsky.social paper w @annanhelgoy.bsky.social we use a survey experiment priming domestic mental load to find out. doi.org/10.1017/S000... 🧵 1/9

Last week, CDU and AfD coalesced in a historic moment for post-WWII German political history. @chriswratil.bsky.social, @mafaldapratas.bsky.social and I ran a survey immediately after the event to measure voters' reactions.

You wonder how the CDU/CSU playing with the "Brandmauer" to AfD last week has influenced German voters? @mafaldapratas.bsky.social @jmfernandes86.bsky.social & I have you covered. We surveyed sample of 2,000 German voters. 🧵with first results 👇. Spoiler: It did not go down as well as CDU/CSU hoped.

Rejecting a scholar like @chriswratil.bsky.social from any conference just has one word == ridiculous.
