Non-cooperation is a regular feature of international politics, but research on its various forms is fragmented across IR subfields. Our agenda-setting panel proposes and discusses a more unified framework for studying how actors respond to non-cooperation. Overview paper: shorturl.at/HbIvU

(1/5) My article Disintegration and Party Competition is out in the latest issue of @jeppjournal.bsky.social ! I ask how parties in other member states reacted to #Brexit. Do #Eurosceptic challengers frame it as an example to follow? Or do they instead row back on ‘hard’ demands to #leave the EU?

Back home after an eventful weekend - I am proud of what we have created (even if we had hoped to arrive at a more consensual way forward). Our work in the EPSA reform working group has been intense. Still, doing this with such an engaged, friendly & creative group has been a privilege and treat.

Congratulations to the DISINTEGRATION team! And because our world still remains mostly integrated, it is fitting that in several hours, Cornell students taking Introduction to Comparative Politics with me will be discussing some of its outputs (with this "feature slide" of today's assigned author)

The globalization backlash manifests itself in electoral successes of globalization-skeptic parties; in a more negative tone in partisan discourse about globalization; and in an increase in policies designed to stop or curtail economic, political, and/or sociocultural globalization. However, contrary to the popular narrative, the globalization backlash is not driven by a large swing in public opinion against globalization. Rather, existing antiglobalization attitudes have been politicized and become more politically consequential.

Great thread by @catherinedevries.bsky.social about the implications of the rise of euroskeptic parties for EU reform. Shift in euroskeptic rhetoric from exit to reform is also evident in some of @disintegrationerc.bsky.social's work, e.g. in this piece by Marco Martini & @stefwalter.bsky.social.
