@iskanderdebruycker.bsky.social Marcel Hanegraff & @evwillems.bsky.social show that the civil society mobilization significantly influences the degree to which policymakers are congruent with the concerns of low educated & income citizens. doi.org/10.1080/0140... #polisky #academicsky

Abstract of the article "Socioeconomic (in)congruence in EU public policy: the role of civil society" by Iskander De Bruycker, Marcel Hanegraff and Evelien Willems. Published online first in West European Politics.

Last week, Ida Hobma and I hosted the Civil Society, Advocacy and Lobby in the Low Countries research network at @unileiden.bsky.social in The Hague. It was the best opportunity to present my PhD research proposal: When do citizens feel they are represented by civil society organisations? ✨
