My job market paper is now out in World Politics! Why do some small states excel in IO politics, when conventional theory tells us that powerful states should dominate? I argue and show that small state diplomats outperform their peers from wealthy, powerful states because they are more experienced!

Even for Thomas Friedman, this is low. Netanyahu massacring Palestine and Mamdani calling for his arrest are not "two sides of the same coin." The New York Times should be embarrassed that this is its leading pundit.

Super excited to see the second article from my dissertation published in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social Drawing on unique Norwegian data, I find the green gender gap already exists in early adolescence. Boys are less climate-concerned, less supportive of green policies and less likely to vote green.

I mars 2024 omtalte Aftenposten meg som ekstrem fordi jeg mente at politikerne ikke skal sette mål for antall aborter i Norge, og at må være opp til den enkelte kvinne. I juni 2026 omtalte Aftenposten deltakerne på Norgesdemokratenes massedeportasjonskonferanse for «omstridte gjester».

“Inequality is hardly a new feature in America. But the explosion of wealth at the very top is without precedent in U.S. history. At the height of the Gilded Age at the end of the 19th century, the richest handful of Americans had a net worth equivalent to about 3 percent of the country's annual economic output, according to compiled by the French economists Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez. Today, the fortunes of the same 0.00001 percent—about 20 individuals—make up roughly four times as large a share, equivalent to 12 percent of annual output.”

Beyond a comprehensive survey of what we know/still don't know about EU law litigation, we have three overarching findings that complement/contextualize our 2025 @bjpols.bsky.social article w/ @louisabo.bsky.social on why individual "have nots" come out ahead at the CJEU (see: cup.org/4oWD6ZT)

First, EU law litigation is not only driven by resourceful business and trade associations, but also by a surprising abundance of resourceless individuals and a paucity of labor unions and advocacy groups. Second, individuals, labor unions, and trade associations are most effective in influencing the ECJ, but in counterintuitive ways: whereas labor unions and individuals prompt liberalising rulings that restrict national autonomy, trade associations prompt protectionist rulings. Finally, individuals and advocacy groups are better able to attract attention and shape downstream legal debates via litigation than businesses and trade associations. The “haves” are certainly protagonists of EU law litigation, but they are neither the sole nor the most effective protagonists.
