How well are young people represented along the recruitment ladder? The pipeline problem for the Danish youth is within parties, since they are eager to stand for election and well represented at the parliamentary level. New article out in @ecpr.bsky.social's EPS. Open access: rdcu.be/eIiM1.

Great panel on gendered violence at #ecprgc25 Thanks a lot Jana Belschner @fionamaybuckley.bsky.social Lisa Keenan Zeki Sarigil

On the final day #ecprgc25 I present the democratic consequences of raising citizens’ awareness about harassment of politicians in DK, DE, UK & FR and Barbara Mâsic on the turnout for national minorities in Croatia. Richard Katz discusses. Friday 13:30 New Phil, -1, room 1 @ecpr.bsky.social

Open access to report on 2024 in Danish politics: Queen abdicated. EP elections returned a fragmented Danish representation in Brussels. The cross-the-aisle-majority gov saw some program realization, cf. initiatives on stronger defense, conscription for women & ‘Green Partite’ deal #polisky #dkpol

Nyt studie identificerer en specifik gruppe vælgere, der på SoMe kun følger det parti, de stemmer på. De ligner partiets vælgere mere end medlemmerne og er aktive online, men er ikke aktive i traditionelle partiaktiviteter. Potentiale for partier i forandring? #dkpol

SoMe-aktivister ligger tættere på vælgerne end partiernes medlemmer
Sociale medier tiltrækker en bredere og mere mangfoldig gruppe af politisk engagerede borgere end de traditionelle partimedlemmer. Det viser en ny undersøgelse fra Københavns Universitet.

A special thank you goes out to Sune Welling Hansen & Ulrik Kjær (University of Southern Denmark), who agreed to include the 12+ questions necessary for our study in their survey. Such unselfish behavior is not common in our world. I'm so thankful for you doing this!
Such a pleasure to see this paper out in WEP. I'm grateful for collaborators Susan Scarrow and @emilievh.bsky.social, a tough but productive process with the editors and reviewers of @wepsocial.bsky.social, and comments from party scholar colleagues at a couple of @ecpr.bsky.social events.
New paper out @wepsocial.bsky.social with @karinakosped.bsky.social &S. Scarrow

Based on the 🇩🇰 case we show that (1) parties’ social media following is a sizeable form of political engagement & (2) social media partisans form a distinct type of party affiliation

Social media partisans vs. party members: political affiliation in a digital age
Recently political parties have diversified their affiliation options, including by developing social media followings, but so far there is little evidence about who is exploiting these new options...
