Resultó corto el mandato ese, además de inconstitucional

A new #openaccess research note by @paduis.bsky.social and Alejandro Bonvecchi. The authors use vote switching by legislators between committee and floor voting as a measure of positive agenda power in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies. Check it out! 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

These are some results of the project on personalization of power during the Covid-19 pandemic, which I’ve being conducting at @giga-hamburg.de with a group of amazing researchers. Check them out in the link! You can even play with the data we collected on 32 countries all over the world 😎

🚨 The first JPLA issue of the year is now available online and #openaccess in the following link 👉 journals.sagepub.com/toc/pla/curr... Check it out!🚨 @giga-hamburg.de @sagepub.com

Deja vu

Hace unas semanas en Buenos Aires conversé con estudiantes de ciencia política de la UBA. Gracias por este recorrido por mi vida con la ciencia política 🫶 @redpolitologas.bsky.social @giga-hamburg.de youtu.be/A5_jJ050Lu0

Meanwhile in Brazil… Jair Bolsonaro Ordered to Face Trial in Brazil for Attempting a Coup www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/w...

That’s terrifying theconversation.com/fake-papers-...

“These first two months have been much more aggressively authoritarian than almost any other comparable case I know of democratic backsliding,” said Steven Levitsky, a Harvard political scientist and coauthor of “How Democracies Die” and “Competitive Authoritarianism” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

👀 “Germany updated its travel advisory for the United States to emphasise that a visa or entry waiver does NOT guarantee entry for its citizens” UK has done the same! www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Imagine if you were a political scientist

Yeah

This is Brazil celebrating the Oscar for Best International Feature Film for I’m Still Here 🎉 #Oscars

Amazing #Brazil 🇧🇷 I’m still here!!! 🫶

Fingers crossed 🤞

#Hamburg wählt stabile Verhältnisse in der demokratischen Mitte. Das macht Mut. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Peter Tschentscher zum Wahlsieg und an Katharina Fegebank zum guten grünen Ergebnis.

Que buenísimo que estuvo este Charlemos sobre la reforma judicial y retroceso democratico en Mexico, con @azulaguiar.bsky.social y @jrios-figueroa.bsky.social. Súper recomendado! youtu.be/TgQCLg_n4Lk?...

The anxious Milei didn’t want to continue waiting for the Senate to agree to the appointment of the two supreme judges he had nominated and appoints them by decree during the parliamentary recess. How will this story of institutional destruction continue? www.infobae.com/politica/202...

Hoy conversé sobre las elecciones en Alemania en Radiomundo (Uruguay!). Gracias a mi entrevistador Gustavo Calvo y a @redpolitologas.bsky.social por ponernos en contacto. Pueden escucharnos en el link. enperspectiva.uy/en-perspecti...

Multi-party systems and the parliamentary system that forces a coalition building process

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

“We’ve always been told that North American institutions are really strong – but the institutions that showed themselves to be truly strong were the Brazilian ones, which did not allow a coup to take place,” says @freixomarcelo.bsky.social

Abgesehen davon, dass es in Argentinien bisher keine Fälle von Amtsenthebungen von Präsidenten gegeben hat und dass Amtsenthebungsanträge eher aus repräsentativen als aus Kontrollgründen gestellt werden.

Cuántos expertos en juicio político emergieron de repente

Legislators often call for the impeachment of the president, even knowing that they won't succeed. Why? According to the study on 🇦🇷 & 🇧🇷 by @millanos.bsky.social / Pérez Liñán, for representative purposes. It can serve to appease unhappy voters but may also foreshadow future conflicts.👇

También que se incrementarán los *pedidos* de juicio político en estos contextos, porque el congreso ejerce con ello su función representativa (más que la de control). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.
