Mit ihrem Debattenbeitrag laden sie zur disziplinären Selbstreflexion zu dieser & weiteren Fragen ein.

Does opposition power vary across regime types? This is an intriguing question as opposition leverage has been mainly compared across democracies. Focussing on Africa, I found little support for the assumption that autocratic regimes are a less likely case for formal opposition power.👉 rdcu.be/fe0hu

Are parliamentary party groups dominated by their leaders? Drawing on more than 100 groups from such different places as Armenia, Mexico and Sweden, our study finds that formalization and ideology matter for the level of elite domination. Group size and type of government do not.👉 shorturl.at/1r9mz

I got to share some research at the #IPU151. I talked about why diverse representation in parliament matters, why it was rarely acheived, and how we can go about changing this, with the people who actually have the power to. Not gonna lie, I have rarely felt my work to be more meaningful than today!
