This spring, I had the honor of giving the 2026 @ecpr.bsky.social Stein Rokkan Lecture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5V... Based on joint work with @dpzollinger.bsky.social, @simonbornschier.bsky.social, I argued that the lens of cleavage politics is most useful to study democratic resilience.

We often talk about the difference between objective and subjective inequalities, assuming that people do not understand how good they have it. There must be however inequality dimensions that simply we do not take into account here.

Hitler's NSDAP never gained the support of more than one-third of voters in free and fair elections! Just like far-right leaders today, Hitler came to power because of the collaboration of right-wing elites, who either wanted to "fight off the left" or thought they could play the far right.

Who opts into a data donation study asking for Google Search histories – and more importantly, who actually donates their data? Sina Chen and I found that Green Party and FDP voters were more likely to follow through, hinting at political skew in donated data 👇
The figure shows the predicted probabilities by party vote, derived from the partially observed bivariate probit model, separately for willingness and completion, and the joint probability. Voters of the CDU/CSU, the AfD, the SPD, the LINKE, and BSW exhibit predicted probabilities of willingness to participate close to the sample average of 50%. Green Party voters show a higher predicted probability of willingness to participate, while the elevated probabilities among FDP voters are not statistically different from those of CDU/CSU voters. In contrast, voters of other parties and non-voters, including those who did not disclose their vote choice, display lower predicted probabilities of willingness. When it comes to donation completion, both Green Party and FDP voters stand out with higher predicted probabilities. As a result, the joint predicted probabilities indicate that voters of the Greens and FDP are the most likely to both opt-in and follow through with the data donation, even when controlling for age, gender, and education.
