The argument is supported by a mixed-methods analysis of party supply in 20 Western European countries between 1990 and 2019, adding to debates on social democracy, party strategies, structuralism, 'responsibility/responsiveness' dilemma, and the state of contemporary representative democracies. 2/4

It's here! ✨📕 In Varieties of Social Democracy in Western Europe (Palgrave Macmillan @springernature.com), I show that the varying ideological differences between social democrats are primarily shaped by how external constraints are configured in their national context at a given time. 1/4

Lots to say & many people to thank; for now, my most heartfelt gratitude to Stefano Bartolini, @siljahausermann.bsky.social, @linerenn.bsky.social & Rob Manwaring – colleagues whose work on left politics has been incredibly inspirational over the years –, for so generously endorsing the book. 2/3

🧵📖 My first solo book – 'Varieties of Social Democracy in Western Europe: The Impact of External Constraints on Ideological Differences' – will be out in all formats over the next few weeks!

For that, I am profoundly grateful to my alma mater LUISS Guido Carli – particularly, Donatella Selva and her research team – for the chance of working together over the past weeks. 10/11

Navigating the Italian and international job market has been and currently remains exceedingly difficult for junior academics. 9/11

The past few months also marked the end of the 3+ years I spent at the University of Verona. This has been an incredibly meaningful and formative time both professionally and personally, which I will always cherish. 7/11

This comes after several months of work on grant applications, which would not have been possible without the generous help and unwavering support of @rdassonneville.bsky.social and several other people along the way over the past year. 3/11

Federico Trastulli @fedetrastulli.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

At KU Leuven, starting 1 October this year and for 3 years, this funding will allow me to initiate my work on 'cross-pressure resolution': the individual-level mechanisms leading citizens who are electorally cross-pressured based on their group identities to make a voting decision. 2/11

🧵🆕 A long overdue update after a few intense months to start off 2026. Incredibly grateful to be able to share that I was awarded a Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship by @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social. 1/11

How to identify party families? @fedetrastulli.bsky.social advances a novel framework that shifts analytical focus from aggregate-level ideology to the bundles of historically rooted issues that define each family's ideological distinctiveness open.substack.com/pub/ipsrbrie...

Come riconoscere le famiglie partitiche? Secondo @fedetrastulli.bsky.social è meglio guardare ai temi di cui parlano, più che a un'ideologia strutturata. Ne parliamo qui 👇 open.substack.com/pub/ipsrdisc...

Happy to share latest piece on Politics and Governance. @andreacapati.bsky.social & I argue that how social democrats (here, 🇮🇹 PD) react to large-scale crises in terms of positions on EU integration depends on the different policy implications of these crises. www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg...
