How well are young people represented along the recruitment ladder? The pipeline problem for the Danish youth is within parties, since they are eager to stand for election and well represented at the parliamentary level. New article out in @ecpr.bsky.social's EPS. Open access: rdcu.be/eIiM1.

Nyt studie identificerer en specifik gruppe vælgere, der på SoMe kun følger det parti, de stemmer på. De ligner partiets vælgere mere end medlemmerne og er aktive online, men er ikke aktive i traditionelle partiaktiviteter. Potentiale for partier i forandring? #dkpol polsci.ku.dk/om/nyheder/2...

“Political Parties and Democracy”
How parties organize has been the focus of seminal research in political science. However, it is only recently that the field has developed publicly available, large-scale comparative datasets, such as the Political Party Database (PPDB), that allows to compare detailed features of party organizations over time and across both parliamentary and presidential democracies. This development offers the unique opportunity to investigate the extent of party agency in regards to organizational reform. In this panel, we welcome papers that explore in comparative perspective how parties organize, and when parties develop or change strategies regarding internal organization. We also welcome papers that focus on the consequences of party-driven organizational reforms for electoral politics, representation, or public policy. We recognize the importance of, and welcomes, a diversity of approaches and scholarship from across the globe.

What counts as an election win? Anglo media frame Wilders' plurality in 🇳🇱 as an "election victory", but multiparty systems are tricky. Take 🇩🇰 in 2015: the plurality winner lost government control, and the biggest loser by vote share formed a single party government instead 🙃

Gender@SAMF call for papers and presentations
Widening Gender Gaps? The how, why and so what of gendered democratic participation on social media
In the midst of the growing interest in social media as an important platform for political participation, we need to investigate whether traditional gender gaps in political participation are enlarged or reduced. Some studies primarily relying on survey data show no substantial gender difference in political participation on social media, in terms of liking and commenting on political content, while others find gender gaps in likelihood of posting political content and tone of comments. However, we call for papers and presentations using social media data to further explore gender gaps in political activism.

Time: 15 December 2023 9-13
Place: TBA (CSS, University of Copenhagen)
Deadline for proposals for papers/presentations: 1 November 2023 to gender@ifs.ku.dk
Organizers: Hjalmar Bang Carlsen (SODAS) & Karina Kosiara-Pedersen

In this week's class in 'gender & politics' we read the splendid - because of theoretical discussion on representation & method triangulation - 'The Gendered Representational Costs of Violence against Politicians' by @sandrahkansson.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #Polisky #Gendersky

Women face more harassment and intimidation as politicians than men, but little is known about how this affects representation. I
develop a theoretical framework for studying the gendered costs of political violence for descriptive, substantive, and symbolic
representation. Testing the framework using interview and survey data on Swedish women and men politicians, I uncover the costs
of violence against politicians in all three dimensions empirically. Violence makes women more frequently than men consider
leaving politics and enforces male-coded characteristics for political candidates, affecting prospects for gender-diverse descriptive
representation. Substantive representation is harmed by violence silencing feminist debates and obstructing women politicians’
policy debate activities. Women’s symbolic representation is threatened by violence coercing women to decrease their visibility
