Happy to share latest piece on Politics and Governance. @andreacapati.bsky.social & I argue that how social democrats (here, 🇮🇹 PD) react to large-scale crises in terms of positions on EU integration depends on the different policy implications of these crises. www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg...

What issues matter most to #Voters? 😬

@gefjonoff.bsky.social & @fedetrastulli.bsky.social study 6 European countries to find that different groups care about different issues--and that what people care about isn’t the same as what they think about those issues. 🧭🗳️

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials
