I’m delighted to share a special milestone in the life of Party Politics 🎉
To mark the journal’s 30th anniversary, I had the pleasure of co-ed a Symposium with Paul Webb
The symposium revisits the journal’s origins, intellectual trajectory, and its role in shaping the field over the past 3 decades.
Congrats 🎉 this is very well deserved 👏🏼 👏🏼
This all sounds very familiar and correct. I've made similar arguments in these papers:

Upping this: in case people are interested in submitting papers to the African Studies Association of the UK conference this year, @mcchacha.bsky.social and I are convening the International Politics in Africa stream. Looking for abstracts at intersection of comparative and IR in Africa. See below.
partycoloR is now on CRAN! Started as a simple idea 6 years ago, now it's a full-featured package. Extract party colors and logos from Wikipedia with one line of code. It's already powering ParlGov Dashboard.

I'm very excited to start a short visit in the Department of European & International Studies at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social. I'll be in London (mostly) on Wednesdays this semester, so drop me a line if you want to meet.

I (with different co-authors) used the model to answer specific questions. For example this piece link.springer.com/article/10.1... with @sofiavasilopoulou.bsky.social.
@annakurella.bsky.social also has been doing some great work in this field.
I'm happy to talk about that if you like.
Yes. Feld, Merrill, and Grofman have an excellent piece in Public Choice for way this is complicated in the US context. Adms, Merrill and myself have done similar modelling in an @ejprjournal.bsky.social piece - ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
May you find the brightest light at the darkest times. Happy Chanukah!
Congratulations 🎉
It is almost 10 years since Hanspeter Kriesi published his seminal article on the politicization of European Integration @jcms-eu.bsky.social.
A short thread on how things stand as of 2024, with @chesdata.bsky.social, looking at salience, clarity, and unity of party positions towards the EU 🧵:
The year 2024 confirmed a global environment defined by:
↔️ pronounced political fragmentation
🗳️ heightened electoral activity
📈 + a deepening wave of autocratisation that continued a 25-year trajectory.

Job Alert! We are hiring two post-docs (full time, 4+ years) in our project SCEPTIC - Social, Computational and Ethical Premises of Trust and Informational Cohesion with @annanosthoff.bsky.social @guzoch.bsky.social and Prof. Andreas Peters (uol.de/informatik/s...)
Writing about Israel is emotionally challenging, but equally important to me. Thanks, @liranharsgor.bsky.social for inviting me to collaborate on this @pdyearbook.bsky.social report. Hopefully, next year's report won't have such a somber tone.

Sweden might be a "positive" example, but the experience in Israel has been the extreme opposite. Israel has huge coordination problems, instability, and governments without popular support. NL + threshold might look more like Israel than Sweden, which we all agree is a bad thing.
Hard to explain the elated feelings today in Israel, at least those who are not far right: the hostilities are back, and this damn war is so over.
Congratulations 🎉
Writing a report about Israeli politics in 2024 for @pdyearbook.bsky.social was quite a challenge. Luckily, I had @roizur.bsky.social as a collaborator.
We hope this report helps make sense of an extremely difficult period in the country’s history.

Something like that, even less if you refer to % of Jews (i.e., excluding Arab citizens). But it also means that only those 2/3 Haredim are, and none of the Dati/Masorti are. At least a good chunk of each of these groups are Jewish Nationalists.
This is no chance Israel is correctly measured. It goes against everything we know from years of public opinion research in Israel.
