#PolSci people, I need your help: Do you know of papers that investigate citizens‘ preference or perception of „where“ policy-making takes place? With „where“ I mean on which level (local, regional, national..). What is the most important level for citizens? Any hint is appreciated. #followerpower

Today, feeling close to cosmopolitans or feminists separates voters of the left from right voters who identify with people who are down to earth and hard working. Yet, these identities do have structural roots, just like class identities did. Our short CUP book on cleavage formation is out in OA.
