Haakon Gjerløw@haakongjerlw.bsky.social · last mo.

Forget the famous names. Here is who actually deserves this year’s Nobel peace prize | Haakon Gjerløw

📢 The Call for Papers for EPSS 2027 (@epssnet.bsky.social) is now open! The conference will be held in June 2027 in amazing Copenhagen! @jamayoral.bsky.social and I will be co-chairing the Judicial Politics section! ⏰ Send us your paper by 13 November 2026! epssnet.org/2027-copenha...

Judicial Politics: The judicialization of politics has made courts central political actors. Courts shape public policy and place limits on majoritarian politics. However, they also face increasing public scrutiny and attempts to curb their authority. Understanding judicial politics is therefore more important than ever. We welcome theoretically grounded and empirically rigorous proposals on any aspect of judicial politics, including judicial behavior, judicial impact, legal mobilization, and public opinion on courts and their rulings. Proposals on domestic and international courts are equally welcome.

1/ Many were wondering whether Fidesz would actually concede if it lost. High turnout today is encouraging — but there are now clear signals the government is preparing the ground to contest the legitimacy of the result, at least if it’s close.

V-Dem v.16 is now released, w. updated scores for 2025. Most countries remain stable from 2024, but some clear improvements (on diff’t democracy indices), incl. S. Korea, Sri Lanka & Mauritius. Largest declines came, by far, in the US. This figure shows 10-yr changes on the Liberal Dem. index.

Jeg har skrevet om sløseridebatt, offentlig pengebruk og om å prioritere velferd. Det er ikke sløsing å bruke penger på velferd, det er en prioritering. Og skal vi beholde velferdsstaten i fremtiden må vi sannsynligvis regne med at den blir dyrere. Les hvorfor her:

(+) Hvis vi vil beholde velferdsstaten, må vi regne med å bruke mer penger på den

At offentlig sektor er blitt dyr i drift, skyldes ikke at vi bruker for mye penger eller er uproduktive. Grunnen er at vi er ekstremt produktive. Det bør både sløserikritikerne og velferdsstatsforkjem...
