Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S147...

This week, we traded the office for a ferry ride to Kladow for our DYNAMICS Summer Party ☀️ We went for a walk, grabbed some coffee in the sun, and briefly forgot we were still in Berlin. Back in the city, we ended the day in the beer garden 🍻 — the perfect way to wrap up a sunny day together!

„Jetzt lasst sie halt mal machen?“ Die Hoffnung, die AfD werde sich in Regierungsverantwortung „entzaubern“, ist wieder da. Die wissenschaftliche Evidenz spricht dagegen. Über die Befunde meiner Studie mit @anninahermes.bsky.social habe ich mit @zeit.de gesprochen tinyurl.com/33f8vkzf

Rechte Regierungen: Jetzt lasst sie halt mal machen? – Das geht nach hinten los

Rechte Parteien entzaubern sich nicht, wenn sie regieren. Da ist die Wissenschaft sehr klar. Wer den Satz sagt, hofft auf Regeln, die für die AfD nicht mehr gelten.

Nach der Landtagswahl in #Sachsen-Anhalt stellt sich die Frage mit neuer Dringlichkeit: Würde Regierungsverantwortung die AfD „entzaubern“? 📊 Unsere Analyse von 1.307 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien zeigt: Die radikale Rechte wird dadurch nicht schwächer, im Schnitt gewinnt sie rund 6 Prozentpunkte.

#POLITKOLUMNE: When it’s hot during heatwaves, we typically focus on ourselves, and simply on getting through the day. Yet the heat-induced reactions we experience individually (aggression!), add up to collective outcomes: to football matches and, yes, voting behavior www.derbund.ch/hitzewelle-w...

Abstract of the article "Parties' issue responsiveness between elections" by Cornelius Erfort, Heike Klüver, and Lukas F. Stoetzer, published online first in West European Politics.

Marginal effects plot showing the relationship between changes in polls and subsequent party issue attention in press releases, split by party issue ownership, issue salience, and being the main issue of a successful competitor.
