Had a great time presenting my project with @ayakter.bsky.social on public opinion, voting behavior and party positions in Israel at @vanderbilt.edu. Thanks to @noamlupu.bsky.social and the department of political science for hosting me this week!

The year 2024 confirmed a global environment defined by: ↔️ pronounced political fragmentation 🗳️ heightened electoral activity 📈 + a deepening wave of autocratisation that continued a 25-year trajectory. ⬇️ Read the 2025 yearbook now! buff.ly/lSheCuB

Writing about Israel is emotionally challenging, but equally important to me. Thanks, @liranharsgor.bsky.social for inviting me to collaborate on this @pdyearbook.bsky.social report. Hopefully, next year's report won't have such a somber tone. ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Writing a report about Israeli politics in 2024 for @pdyearbook.bsky.social was quite a challenge. Luckily, I had @roizur.bsky.social as a collaborator. We hope this report helps make sense of an extremely difficult period in the country’s history. ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨New #polisky publication 🚨 In @ejprjournal.bsky.social, Reut Itzkovitch-Malka, @liranharsgor.bsky.social and I ask: when do voters back a party that's not their top pick, but has a real shot at being the the next PM's party? The answer is a mix of preferences, expectations, and uncertainty 1/4

Do voters strategically attempt to affect the identity of the next prime minister? In a new paper at @ejprjournal.bsky.social, we show they do! Using @cses.bsky.social and German surveys, we find when and how "formateur optimization" is more likely to occur @ortuttnauer.com doi.org/10.1017/S147...

Looking forward to have your submissions of gender-related papers to our section on elections, parties and voters at the #ECPG26. Deadline: November 7 💪

My 12yo in the protests today, calling for a deal for the release of the hostages and ending the war in Gaza. I'm so proud of her.

Peacemaking public sentiment can be bootstrapped. Evidence from a hopeful study by @liranharsgor.bsky.social and @ayakter.bsky.social

The Oct 7 events & heartbreaking devastation in Gaza have deepened pessimism in the region. While it’s hard to imagine a way out now, our new @bjpols.bsky.social letter (w/ @liranharsgor.bsky.social) reaffirms that improving expectations for an agreement could raise support for compromises ▶️🧵1/10

I have a new article out at @polstudies.bsky.social. In "Electoral Hope", I make the case that supposedly irrational "wishful thinking" is actually a crucial part of how voters make rational sense of their role in democracies. OA link: doi.org/10.1177/0032...

Yesterday I presented a new paper with Maria Grasso and @rosieshorrocks.bsky.social at #EPSA25 in the beautiful (and hot) city of Madrid. Great panel, lovely place, and nice people around. See you next year at EPSS!

🚨 Big News for European Political Science 🚨 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the European Political Science Society (EPSS): a new, member-led, not-for-profit association built to support our scholarly community. 🔗 epssnet.org Here’s a thread with everything you need to know. 🧵

Delighted to organize and chair this panel tomorrow. Promising research on cohorts, voting for radical right parties and satisfaction with democracy, with some really fascinating findings. ecpr.eu/Events/Event...

If you are at the @ecpr-ead.bsky.social conference, come to @liranharsgor.bsky.social's panel on Tuesday 15:00 - 16:30 and hear Armin's talk. We document a growing gap in satisfaction with democracy between the lower and the higher educated using APC- analyses of Eurobarometer and ESS data.

Back to London after four days full of inspiring discussions on gender and generational gaps (and lots of coffee...) Thank you to all the participants! It's been a pleasure directing this workshop 🤓 #ecprjs25 @ecpr.bsky.social

Having a paper accepted to @bjpols.bsky.social while in London is a perfect match 🎉

Summarizing Israeli politics in 2024 feels less like covering a year and more like telling the story of a decade, just in fast forward... @roizur.bsky.social

Party switching is one of the most impactful things MKs do, sometimes reshaping Israeli politics (hi Idit Silman). Csaba Nikolenyi's book dives into this fascinating topic, and I had the pleasure of reviewing it for Israel Studies Review. www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal...
