A major update of my study:
- I added the latest 2023 ESS data for citizens and 2024 CHES data for parties
- I built an app to explore these relationships across datasets, indicators, years & countries
My suspicion is that some of the resistance to any work that doesn't follow the canon comes from young scholars who feel they need to 'enforce' the boundaries of the field they have been socialized into. But this is also just a hunch.
You have no definition of 'sanctions'. Also, I don't like your definition of 'sanctions'. 😂😡🥹
One of the joys of doing social science for me is reading and learning from different fields. But too often reviewers encourage the exact opposite. Why?

The section proposal on the EU is prepared by Adam Holesch (IBEI) and @nathaliebrack.bsky.social. Get in touch with them before 7 November to co-ordinate!
NSC lost 97% of its vote share, not 12.5%.
DD6 voters were much more negative towards JA21 than CDA voters were negative towards GL-PvdA voters.
It is actions like this one that erode the credibility of social scientists as independent experts.
For two-and-a-half years the country has been governed by 'demissionary' cabinets with a very limited mandate (prepare elections and take care of ongoing business).
