It is urgent that Europe finds a foreign policy of its own to avoid being dragged into Trump's wars. Europan military involvement in the the Middle East would be a disaster (once again).

Is the moment for European civil society to stand up for peace. European militar action againt Iran is completely unjustificable.

We know a lot about why substate nationalist parties embrace secession. But what happens when secession fails? Can they return to ordinary parliamentary politics? Our new paper on Catalan CiU and Junts shows that yes: when institutional and electoral opportunities change. doi.org/10.1080/2162...

New publication in the Journal of Public Policy!🚨 ⚖️It shows how feminist advocacy pushed for a reform entitling mothers and fathers to equal parental leave in Spain. 👉This also unveils that descriptive representation matters because it can open access for feminist groups. doi.org/10.1017/S014...

Amazing how grading take-home exams has changed with AI. For me now: - Amazing English but superficial and disconnected from class: bad grade. - Regular or even bad writing, but applies class concepts correctly and reasons in depth: good grade. Teacher's generation may matter a lot for some years!

Policy feedback effects on public opinion can bridge institutionalism and behaviouralism. However, research often forgets to link 'opinion' back to politics, otherwise there is no 'feedback', only 'effects'.
