Why What Happened in Hungary Could Not Happen in Venezuela? Three factors help explain this divergence: the European Union, the armed forces, and the institutional embeddedness of opposition actors. @gvagrad.bsky.social

So glad to share my latest publication @ecprtheloop.bsky.social 👇 First ladies are unelected, yet influential, and as long as we treat them as ceremonial figures, we will misread how executive power actually works. theloop.ecpr.eu/the-politica... @geealacip.bsky.social @redpolitologas.bsky.social
