Earlier this year, Jan Hruška & I published @democratization.bsky.social on how upper chambers can bolster democratic resilience, using case of Czech Senate. As governing CZ populists falter in Senate elections, our work reaches a wider Czech audience @irozhlas.cz www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov...

Odolná pojistka demokracie a komora vítězů. Český Senát je silným obráncem systému, ukazuje studie
„Český Senát je dostatečně slabý na to, aby neblokoval každodenní vládnutí. Ale současně je dostatečně silný, aby v krizových a klíčových okamžicích mohl sehrát svou roli,“ uvádí politolog Hruška.

Clifford Bob hat übrigens schon vor über 10 Jahren über ein "Baptist-Burqa Network" geschrieben, das transnational auf UN-Ebene gegen die Rechte von Frauen und Minderheiten mobilisiert. Aber klar, wäre ich ein weißer, privilegierter Cis-Het-Mann, würde ich es vielleicht auch nicht so ernst nehmen.

Sehr wichtiger Artikel zum christlichen Fundamentalismus, der leider viel zu oft ignoriert wird. Die christlichen Rechten sind international sehr gut miteinander vernetzt und mobilisieren politisch gegen die Rechte von Frauen und der LGBT+ Community. Ja, auch das ist eine Gefahr für die Demokratie.

Christliche Rechte wollen den Gottesstaat, ein "katholisches Kopftuch" und Tod für "Häretiker"
Theologinnen warnen vor dem unterschätzten Einfluss der christlichen Rechten, die Milliardengelder in ihre Agenden pumpen. Ihre weltweite Vernetzung macht sie besonders gefährlich

I enjoyed this discussion. Under the Chatham House Rule, so I can't say who said what, but one takeaway for me: Europe, incl the UK, still hasn't come up with effective tools to deter or respond to non-military Russian attacks, even as Moscow escalates to the point where casualties are likely.

In case you missed it: the 26th anniversary of the fall of the 13-year-long Milošević government on October 5, 2000, was not marked in any formal wayin Serbian - and why would it be? The upcoming elections have four election tickets running on Milošević's political platform.
