So important from @kjephd.bsky.social. Political scientists ignore the critical importance of how meaning is constructed & so our work on climate suffers. Economic sociologists are much better on this, see @pgolka.bsky.social @danieldrisc.com @vapunkt.bsky.social & others (chime in, folks!). 1/2

Political scientists do not have a good account of where political issues come from. Why does tangling with the medical system make us think of universal healthcare, while wildfire smoke registers as just a thing to get through? What forges the links between our daily experiences & 'politics?'

Best advice you are going to get from me

Can winter tourism destinations responsibly adapt to climate change? Why summer replacing winter can slide into maladaptation if it deepens tourism dependence and erodes local acceptance. By @vapunkt.bsky.social politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/can-win...

Can Winter Tourism Destinations Responsibly Adapt to Climate Change?

Trump’s economic agenda is testing the institutional foundations of neoliberalism, not just its policies find @thinkwoodist.bsky.social and @vapunkt.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...

Trump’s economic agenda is testing the institutional foundations of neoliberalism, not just its policies | LSE United States Politics and Policy

Given the Federal Reserve’s key role in leading neoliberal policies, if Trump can successfully reduce its power, this would signal genuine system change.

Trump's tariffs, industrial policy, and feuds with Powell aren't the end of neoliberalism but a reshuffling of its supporting cast. As our article of the week shows, the system's actual core remains intact. By @vapunkt.bsky.social et al. in @govjournal.bsky.social buff.ly/MX3Af1O

🗞️ In our new paper that just came out in Governance, James and I provide a new way to conceptualise how ideas and policies interdependently evolve. ⛓️ Based on analysing discourse and policy change in the US, we describe this as supply chain of economic ideas. 💡 More info and link below 👇

🚡 Der Schnee schwindet, Seilbahnbetreiber investieren weiter. Warum eigentlich? Die Wirtschaftssoziologin @vapunkt.bsky.social hat mir für @derstandard.at Antworten gegeben. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Der Artikel von @vapunkt.bsky.social im heutigen @derstandard.at ("Seilbahnbetreiber denken in Horizonten von drei bis fünf Jahren") entspricht meinen Erfahrungen: Der Klimawandel wird von Touristiker:innen nicht (mehr) geleugnet, führt aber auch nicht zu mehr Einsatz für den Klimaschutz.
