New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social) Do opinion polls shape election results? Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Great conference to launch an excellent new book on French Democracy in Distress. @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social @vtiberj.bsky.social @caterinafr.bsky.social @cevipof.bsky.social

Où en est la démocratie en France? Très fier de cet ouvrage collectif qui vient de sortir. Ça cause citoyens, institutions, partis, mouvements sociaux, légitimité, alternatives et y est rassemblée une belle équipe de collègues

Such a special day in French politics - and at the Assemblée nationale today. For now, the parliamentary reality is: Banque des Ministres - empty. Streets - full of journalists. The last meeting of the assembly - Jeudi, October 2. Next meeting - suspended. The battle for power - on.

I'm hiring another postdoc (research-focused, for almost 5 years) for my @erc.europa.eu project on the educational cleavage! I'm looking for someone with strong quantitative text-analysis skills (e.g. #NLP, #LLM, etc.) to study the role of political actors in cleavage formation.

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social. Petition (de/en) ⤵️

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨 Why do some people keep voting throughout their lives while others drop out? And how do authoritarian elections - even uncompetitive ones- shape citizens’ habits?

In der letzten Woche gab ich ein Interview bei @france24.com indem ich sagte, dass es für die Ausweitung der Ausgaben für Sicherheit und Verteidigung eine große Zustimmung in der Bevölkerung gibt. Daraufhin sah ich in fragende und erstaunte Augen. Hier die neuesten Werte zur öffentlichen Meinung:

🇩🇪 Quelques éléments de l’état de l’opinion en #Allemagne dans le #DeutschlandTrend #ARD 🧵 🇫🇷🇩🇪 La #France reste le premier partenaire de confiance pour les Allemands (85%) alors que les #USA 🇺🇸 chutent à 16% (-38%), effet #Trump… 1/n 👉 www.tagesschau.de/inland/deuts...

What a week! In untertan times, while ‚The West‘ is collapsing, searching for identity, German elections bring another change and the world that we once knew is over, i had a full and super interesting week. It was marked by the uncertainty and the dramatic changes we are facing.

Tonight I will be at @france24.com to discuss the German election results with an amazing panel - we will discuss implications for the country (internally, externally) and give some more insights into possible changes in different policy fields! Come join us at 7.10pm :)
