Far right parties strategically increase the (descriptive) representation of women assuming it helps them win votes in general and, in particular, from women. Does it work? In this short descriptive piece, I show the answer in the case of Reform UK is a clear ‘no’ doi.org/10.1332/2515...

Can civil-military relations scholarship provide prescriptive normative guidance for military leaders' appropriate behaviour in democratic backsliding? My new article in @journalofgss.bsky.social debates this civil-military conundrum academic.oup.com/jogss/articl... #CivMilSKy

Civil-Military Relations in the Prevention of Democratic Backsliding Christoph Harig

Abstract
Most civil-military relations scholarship implicitly or explicitly sees the military as a threat to democratic institutions and governments. In recent years, however, there have been several instances in which democratically elected governments tried to use the armed forces for undermining democratic institutions. Hence, military leaders may sometimes have to contest lawful political decisions if these potentially threaten democracy. This challenges fundamental normative assumptions in civil-military relations research. The present article therefore asks: Which analytical tools does civil-military relations scholarship provide for assessing the appropriate role of military leaders in the prevention of democratic backsliding? Should there be general, prescriptive normative theories for military leaders’ appropriate behaviour in contexts of democratic backsliding? The article begins by reviewing civil-military relations scholarship’s perspectives on the appropriate political role of armed forces and discusses how these are challenged by democratic backsliding. Building on previous attempts to conceptualise military dissent and the military’s role in autocratization processes, the article argues that military behaviour in backsliding processes cannot be assessed without taking military role conceptions as explanatory variable for military leaders’ ideas about appropriate behaviour into account. Illustrative examples from the Americas then assess military leaders’ reaction to backsliding attempts and their consequences for democracy and civil-military relations. The findings underline that prescriptive guidance for military disobedience should be treated with caution.

Scholars & pundits have focussed a lot on the electoral demise of center left, but in doing so we paid to little attention to the electoral problems of the center right. Case-in-points here not only British conservatives or center right in France, but increasingly also the center right in Spain.

This is also a great new study on gendered labour market competition and (young) men's opposition to gender equality policies. Must-read for anyone interested in the emerging 'gender divide' among young people. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Title: Young men, gendered labour market competition, and opposition to gender equality policy across 27 EU countries
Authors: Amy Alexander, Nicholas Charron, and Gefjon Off
Abstract: Recent studies have shown an increasing divide in political values between young men and women, particularly regarding gender equality attitudes. In this study it is argued that this is due in particular to a lack of support by young men towards gendered labour market competition: they are less sympathetic towards competition-exacerbating factors. With newly collected original survey data across 27 EU countries, the study investigates two hypothetical gender equality policies: gender quotas in politics and school reforms for less gender-stereotypical teaching. Results show that young men find the quota policy more threatening, as it creates more immediate gender competition, thus making them less supportive of this policy. Additionally, the study employs vignette survey experiments to test whether policy support changes as a function of policy framing. No consistent framing effects are found, however. The article carries implications for understanding the extent and kind of recent value divides between young men and women.
