V-Dem v.16 is now released, w. updated scores for 2025. Most countries remain stable from 2024, but some clear improvements (on diff’t democracy indices), incl. S. Korea, Sri Lanka & Mauritius. Largest declines came, by far, in the US. This figure shows 10-yr changes on the Liberal Dem. index.

Excited to share my new publication @poppublicsphere.bsky.social! We often think that women’s formal political participation began in the 1900s. Using archival records from over 150 assembly meetings between 1493-1789 in France, I show that, in fact, some women had political rights much earlier!

Analysis of German elections shows female candidates underperform mainly because parties nominate them in less favorable districts, not due to voter bias or candidate traits, from Thomas Fujiwara, Hanno Hilbig, and Pia Raffler www.nber.org/papers/w34396

#POLITKOLUMNE: The ageing of the electorate is accelerating, and so is the growing divide between the youngest & the oldest voters in Swiss direct democracy, espec. on social policy issues.

➡️📍📑 New Working Paper with @sumpierrez.bsky.social and Rainer Bauböck Work on migrant voting rights often has a state-centric perspective. We propose *migrant franchise constellations* as a migrant-centric approach. A 🧵 with our argument and new data! 🗳️ preprints.apsanet.org/engage/apsa/...

The expansion of voting rights beyond territory and citizenship marks a major democratic development of the last fifty years. Migrant suffrage has been mostly studied from a state-centric perspective. But the rights that migrants hold emerge from specific combinations of the country of residence and the country of citizenship. From this migrant-centric perspective, what is the diagnosis of the spread and status of global migrant suffrage? We present franchise constellations as a migrant-centric framework for studying voting rights. Drawing on the most comprehensive dataset on migrant electoral rights, combined with novel data on nationality-specific restrictions, we compute almost 1.3 million dyad-year observations based on 172 countries between 1960 and 2020. Using migrant stock data, we find that at least 74 million migrants remained completely disenfranchised in 2020. Bilateral and multilateral efforts emerge as a fruitful path for addressing global migrant disenfranchisement.

This is: 1. an absolutely nonsensical way to think about trade 2. nothing to do with tariff barriers, it’s just…relative trade. It’s just something else entirely 3. a CRAZILY back-of-the-envelope way to set global trade policy It is mad that this is real.
