Interviewed in Handelsblatt, DSPI’s Professor Tim Vlandas and University of York’s @dafnoukos.bsky.social drew on their report ‘Understanding Right-Wing Populism and What to Do About it’, to discuss the drivers of #FarRight support and the implications for democratic politics and public policy.

After publishing "Youth Wings of the Populist Radical Right" yesterday, today we talked about it at the CES conference, with @dafnoukos.bsky.social & @pinheiromachado.bsky.social. Hopefully, some of our engaged audience will now read the book (which you can do here: academic.oup.com/book/62992)

Our article is now available Open Access! We hope our typology is useful to study national teams (in all sports) and to further reflect on globalization effects on modern football. The 2026 MAGA World Cup sees a further decline in "ethnic" national teams and a sharp rise in "diaspora" teams.

Why knowing who is more likely to vote for a political party doesn't necessarily explain the party's overall electoral success- our new paper with Tim Vlandas out in @ejprjournal.bsky.social

Knowing who is likely to vote for a party doesn’t explain a party’s success. Better data and methods doesn't negate the risks of drawing conclusions from individual-level findings on the interpretation of elections, write Tim Vlandas and @dafnoukos.bsky.social write on @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social

Why knowing who is likely to vote for a party doesn’t explain a party’s success

Drawing conclusions about electoral outcomes from individual-level findings about who is likely to vote for a party risks distorting how we interpret elections.
