New blog post with @ndurazzi.bsky.social & Patrick Emmenegger for @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social. We argue based on three recent articles that vocational training still remains a viable policy option for boosting growth and containing inequality. Article links below ⏬

BJPolS abstract discussing the impact of technological change on social policy preferences. It examines dual vocational education and training (VET), suggesting that dual VET reduces the demand for compensatory social policy. The findings are based on data from the European Social Survey and material from education systems.

🥁 New paper in BJPS @bjpols.bsky.social 🥁 While there has been a lot of great research on how technological change shapes social policy preferences, I argue with Patrick Emmenegger and @ndurazzi.bsky.social that this literature is missing an important link: the role of skills, notably dual VET.

The BBC has footage of masked Israeli settlers attacking a Palestinian farm and burning vehicles and cars. "Locals say this is happening almost every day now, and these are the tactics settlers are using to take the land, field by field." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I watched the documentary "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" on Channel 4, and I have no idea why the BBC, which commissioned it in the first place, dropped it. It is an excellent documentary by all accounts. See it www.channel4.com/programmes/g...

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes
