Basierend auf einer Vielzahl von Datenquellen zeigen wir in unserem Research Brief eine Sache: Verluste an die radikale Rechte sind nur marginal relevant für die elektorale Krise der Sozialdemokratie. Anders gesagt: heutige Wähler von radikal rechts sind keine früheren Sozialdemokraten.

This overview deserves another share, important to be informed of the extent of the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration

Another week, another list of new publications in the field. So much exciting scholarship has appeared. 1. Widmann & Simonsen show in PSRM that radical right challengers play an important role in shaping public discourse in a negative moral-emotional direction www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

📄New article out with @gessler.bsky.social: With a vignette survey experiment in Germany and Poland, we show that citizens’ attitudes towards democracy vary substantially, clearly influencing their reactions to undemocratic actions. doi.org/10.1017/gov.... 1/8

Glaubt irgendjemand da draußen wirklich, dass wir die Grenzen nur hochziehen müssen und dann wird das schon: mit bezahlbarem Wohnraum, mit guten Löhnen und besserer Gesundheitsversorgung für alle? Oder werden dann neue Schuldige gesucht? Bürgergeldempfänger*innen? Queere Menschen? Kinderlose?

Eine starke Zivilgesellschaft für die Demokratie braucht: Geld. @OlafScholz stellen Sie sicher, dass diese Organisationen im #Haushalt berücksichtigt werden! #GeradeJetztFuerAlle weact.campact.de/petitions/de...

Man sollte nicht leichtfertig auf den Move des Rassemblement National hereinfallen. Das hat wenig mit echter Erschütterung über die AfD zu tun, sondern mit französischer Innenpolitik und Konkurrenz im Rechtsaußen-Lager. „Selbst dem RN zu rechts“ stützt die Verharmlosungsstrategie.

Finally out with the EPSR. 🥳🎉 In this study, I test for social desirability and concept-measurement consistency in questions surrounding citizens' support for and understandings of democracy. The paper is published open-access! Have a look. 😉🕵️‍♀️✨ #polisky #democracy www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
