The final paper of my PhD is now out in @democratization.bsky.social! I ask how and why regime type impacts far-right mobilization. My starting point was a paradox: the far right is global, yet most of what we know about it comes from research on a handful of countries in Western Europe 1/9

Finally online! This was a challenging paper to write, as the far right in 🇺🇦 has been so politicized by Russia. But for this same reason, it is maybe also the most important paper I have written, studying the actual movement to counter misconceptions around it: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
