It is intriguing how political science has moved away from certain forms of qualitative inquiry over time. As a mixed-methods researcher, I find this trend concerning. Source: Curry (2017) in PS: Political Science & Politics

Interessante o que está a acontecer com esta iniciativa de cidadãos. Os proponentes têm pouquíssimo impacto na discussão da iniciativa, enquanto os partidos frequentemente alteram substancialmente o conteúdo original das propostas. O meu artigo e do João mostra isso: academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a...

I just switched to Ecosia as my search engine. It's European, environmentally friendly, and transparent about its revenue. A percentage of its profits goes to climate change projects. Quality is really impressive (& similar to google) www.ecosia.org

One of the perks of researching parliaments is that, in the midst of fieldwork, we can inadvertently witness historic moments — such as today’s "Déclaration du gouvernement" of the new Belgian federal government (after 234 days after the elections)
