Thanks to Ulrik Kjær for collaboration on lnkd.in/eV3VsADq (hourglass pattern of women's representation), which inspired this article, and to the participants at the conference ‘Youth without representation’ in September 2022 in Ottawa.
How well are young people represented along the recruitment ladder? The pipeline problem for the Danish youth is within parties, since they are eager to stand for election and well represented at the parliamentary level. New article out in @ecpr.bsky.social's EPS. Open access: rdcu.be/eIiM1.
Great panel on gendered violence at #ecprgc25 Thanks a lot Jana Belschner @fionamaybuckley.bsky.social Lisa Keenan Zeki Sarigil

Open access to report on 2024 in Danish politics: Queen abdicated. EP elections returned a fragmented Danish representation in Brussels. The cross-the-aisle-majority gov saw some program realization, cf. initiatives on stronger defense, conscription for women & ‘Green Partite’ deal #polisky #dkpol

Nyt studie identificerer en specifik gruppe vælgere, der på SoMe kun følger det parti, de stemmer på. De ligner partiets vælgere mere end medlemmerne og er aktive online, men er ikke aktive i traditionelle partiaktiviteter. Potentiale for partier i forandring? #dkpol

A special thank you goes out to Sune Welling Hansen & Ulrik Kjær (University of Southern Denmark), who agreed to include the 12+ questions necessary for our study in their survey. Such unselfish behavior is not common in our world. I'm so thankful for you doing this!
Such a pleasure to see this paper out in WEP. I'm grateful for collaborators Susan Scarrow and @emilievh.bsky.social, a tough but productive process with the editors and reviewers of @wepsocial.bsky.social, and comments from party scholar colleagues at a couple of @ecpr.bsky.social events.
“Political Parties and Democracy” How parties organize has been the focus of seminal research in political science. However, it is only recently that the field has developed publicly available, large-scale comparative datasets, such as the Political Party Database (PPDB), that allows to compare detailed features of party organizations over time and across both parliamentary and presidential democracies. This development offers the unique opportunity to investigate the extent of party agency in regards to organizational reform. In this panel, we welcome papers that explore in comparative perspective how parties organize, and when parties develop or change strategies regarding internal organization. We also welcome papers that focus on the consequences of party-driven organizational reforms for electoral politics, representation, or public policy. We recognize the importance of, and welcomes, a diversity of approaches and scholarship from across the globe.
