New from me in Territory, Politics, and Governance (@rsa-tpg.bsky.social). It's my first incursion into political geography (and my first time using an instrumental variable 😅). www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

New paper in Party Politics, in which I present a Dynamic Seat Product Model. It uses exponential smoothing to let a key correction factor drift over time, and thereby predict legislative fragmentation much more accurately than before. doi.org/10.1177/1354...

📢 New publication in the JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies Why do some actors trust EU regulatory agencies more than others? In a new article, I examine trust in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) using survey data from stakeholders across nine European countries.

New from @janagomezdiaz.bsky.social and I 😀 We explore the determinants of citizens' trust in their election management bodies. Mainly, we find that - across LATAM - it is much higher when EMBs are formally insulated from executive and partisan interference. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New from me in @electoralstudies.bsky.social! Across municipalities (🇲🇽), more incidents of political violence lead to more invalid voting — a form of protest. But more so in tight elections, where the protest can be more effective. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Most people in Mexico and Canada say the United States is their country's greatest threat www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/...

When asked which country is the most important ally to their own, many people around the world name the United States. This is the most common response in 12 of the 24 non-U.S. countries included in a new Pew Research Center survey. It is tied for the top response in three additional countries.

But others say the U.S. is their nation’s greatest threat. This is the most common response in six countries and tied for top in two others.

In neighboring Canada and Mexico, as well as in Argentina, Brazil and Kenya, the U.S. is the top response on both the ally and threat questions.

This is great. It is also immediately disappointing that Ovechkin openly supports Putin, and that Gretzky openly supports Trump.
