Cool new working paper on why and how cable news threw gasoline on the culture war fire. The culture war isn't optimal for electoral candidates, but it's optimal for cable news companies.

Rejection is one of the toughest parts about academia and this post provides some great guidance on how to deal with it (that I will start trying to follow myself).

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

Despite everything else going on, France last night honoured Robert Badinter, the former justice minister who ended the death penalty in 🇫🇷 in 1981. He entered the Panthéon in a moving moment of national tribute that the French do so well

I agree with Charlotte, but I'd add the Max Weber Fellowship to the list. I cannot emphasize how great the programme is (research, networking, quality of life, social life, etc). The deadline is a month before the IAST's fellowship: www.eui.eu/apply?id=max...

In a moment when the narrative has swung so far to the other end, this book by Volha Charnysh is more important than ever.
It shows the displacement of people historically fostered state capacity, private entrepreneurship, and long-term economic performance.

Are you interested in how parties' parliamentary behavior (e.g., passing bills, calling for elections, forming coalitions, cooperating/conflicting) affects voters (e.g., electoral behavior, perceptions, affective polarization)? Please let me know. I am putting together an MPSA panel proposal.

Amazing work from @evakrejcova.bsky.social @filipkostelka.bsky.social and N.Sauger!
1/ How does migration affect political attitudes? Using 380k obs from 104 sending & 28 receiving countries, @filipkostelka.bsky.social, Nicolas Sauger & I find some migrants’ attitudes align with locals, while others exceed origin-host context, reshaping ideological space.

Something political science would benefit bigly from: World Politics style multi-book review articles where none of the books are written by political scientists. For example: one on “zones” featuring @atossaaraxia.bsky.social, Slobodian, etc. Let’s bring new stuff into the field!
I hyped the first two books before but reading all three together is the way to go. There’s a bit of corporate fluff here and there but that pales in comparison with the gains. One learns things about global political economy that one just doesn’t get from academic articles and books.
