🎉 Very happy to team up with Andreu Paneque to develop this project funded by the Institut d’Estudis de l’Autogovern. We’ll study how federalism shapes the internal organization of political parties, the leaders they choose, and the issues they emphasize in their electoral platforms. Stay tuned! 📈 📊
💥 I’m very happy to announce that our project has been selected by the IEA to receive one of its Research Grants.
Together with @javiermcanto.bsky.social and a fantastic research team, we will analyse how federalism influences the policy proposals that parties adopt and the leaders they choose.
