🌱 Do you believe in #climatechange? It sounds like a simple question – but it tells us little about politicians' climate #attitudes. In our new article in @ejprjournal.bsky.social, @akueppers.bsky.social and I show that there are many shades of climate #scepticism. 🔓 doi.org/10.1017/S147...

🆕 Business versus citizens 🥊 @andduer.bsky.social, @robert-a-huber.bsky.social & Gemma Mateo use survey experiments from 47 countries across the globe to view how legislators consider the preferences of business or citizen when making #TradePolicy decisions🤔

Why is trade framed in terms of national security? An exciting new paper by @yavuzmehmet.bsky.social, Gemma Mateo and @andduer.bsky.social in @pspolisci.bsky.social explores how US trade policy is shaped by national security. The evidence suggests that security frames are used strategically.

Here now a brief summary of the key ideas in our paper: 1.) US trade policy has historically been eclectic. At most times, it has combined liberal and protectionist elements. 2.) The international trade system has developed resilience to US departures from liberal commitments.
