Excited to share our new working paper with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social! Resisting executive pressure may not be that costly, after all.

Really excited to see my new piece out in @jodemocracy.bsky.social. Drawing on evidence from two years of fieldwork, I show the underappreciated but central role that grassroots civic mobilization played in Tisza’s electoral victory—and thus in ending sixteen years of democratic erosion in Hungary.

Very grateful to receive an Honorable Mention for the APSG Best Paper Award for my paper, “Economic Retaliation and the Decline of Opposition Quality,” which I first presented at APSG’s 2025 conference. Many thanks to the committee and the amazing APSG team!

Viktor Orbán’s defeat in this year’s historic elections in Hungary is largely attributed to a combination of his party’s failures and his challenger’s successes. But a grassroots campaign to defend election integrity played a major role. @hannafolsz.bsky.social explains:

New piece out for @carnegieendowment.org on an important but underappreciated aspect of Hungary’s 2026 opposition victory: how grassroots civic action disrupted Fidesz’s vote-buying and voter intimidation efforts and helped protect election integrity.

@hannafolsz.bsky.social and I are writing a paper on this right now! Urban bastions of liberalism are tolerated by the regime, since numerically they're insignificant in Parliament. But Orbán has recentralized local finances, so Budapest is being strangled financially for its "disloyalty."
