Je ländlicher eine Gemeinde ist, desto stärker ist sie gealtert. In Großstädten nahm das Durchschnittsalter von 2011 bis 2025 nur leicht zu: von 43,2 auf 43,5 Jahre. Dagegen stieg es in den Landgemeinden von 44,3 auf 46,8 Jahre. Mehr dazu: www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pr...

Interested in political legacies and political behavior in post-communist Europe? My review is now out in PRX. It draws on 200+ articles and discusses many conceptual and empirical problems in legacy research, along with ideas for addressing them and where the field could go next.

3rd PhD baby is out in the world 🎉 Voting far right because your region is left-behind? Not necessarily. "Left-behind" regions — slower growth, higher unemployment, industrial decline — are said to drive votes for the radical right. My new paper in @actapolitica.bsky.social complicates this story.

Viel bekanntes: CDU dominiert im katholischen Emsland, AfD hier klar schwächer. Dafür deutlich stärker im Südosten um Wolfsburg/Gifhorn/Salzgitter. Auch die SPD performt hier traditionell besser, wie im protestantischen Friesland. Hochburgen von Linken und Grünen in den Uni- und Großstädten.

81 % of eastern German municipalities have fewer residents today than in 1985. Losses cluster especially in Pommerania and rural Sachsen-Anhalt, where towns often shrank by a third or more. Growth is almost entirely confined to larger cities like Berlin & Leipzig and their commuter belts.

🚨 🚨 🚨 new publication (with @antonialang.bsky.social) klaxon!!! Over the past decade, scholars have increasingly turned to “place” as a key factor in political behaviour — particularly on the far right, in Europe & the US. Urban-rural divides are especially intriguing. But are they true cleavages? 🤔
