What happens when voters are exposed to several crises in succession? With @lukaslauener.bsky.social we examine how the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis shaped turnout and vote choice in the 2023 Swiss elections. @spsr.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New in @spsr.bsky.social! The author focuses on the OECD's promotion of mini-publics & argues that citizens are treated more as clients than as agents of public policies, allowing them to influence only marginally a market-oriented environmental framing. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Deliberative Wave and Neo‐Managerial Conception of Mini‐Publics

This Research Note analyses how the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has promoted mini-publics, before focusing on a specific collaboration between the OECD and the Direc....

In most advanced democracies, newer generations and younger citizens are less likely to vote. In this new paper, Thomas Jocker (@uva.nl) and I ask *why* this is the case. We try to answer this question by analyzing the answers that *non-voters themselves* give to this question 👇

Do They Want, Can They, and Have They Been Asked? Generational Differences in Reasons for Non‐Voting in Switzerland

In many advanced democracies, newer generations and younger citizens are less likely to vote than earlier generations and older individuals. However, despite this being an established empirical matte...

Do the wealthy dominate politics because they step up more? @pbundi.bsky.social and @retowuest.bsky.social find that affluent citizens aren't likelier running for office than others. Class gaps in parliaments are due to recruitment/discrimination, not self-selection 📝 doi.org/10.1111/spsr...

Are Less Affluent People Less Likely to Run for Political Office?

In almost all democracies, elected officials are better off than most of the citizens they represent. Recent research has shown that this descriptive misrepresentation is partly due to voter and part....

Really happy to see this Research Note published in the @spsr.bsky.social 🥳! Annika Lindholm and I were interested in knowing whether Swiss voters and candidates share the same views on democracy🤔 @forsresearch.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social @sspunil.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/spsr... (1/4)
