What a week! In untertan times, while ‚The West‘ is collapsing, searching for identity, German elections bring another change and the world that we once knew is over, i had a full and super interesting week. It was marked by the uncertainty and the dramatic changes we are facing.

Such a special day in French politics - and at the Assemblée nationale today.
For now, the parliamentary reality is:
Banque des Ministres - empty.
Streets - full of journalists.
The last meeting of the assembly - Jeudi, October 2.
Next meeting - suspended.
The battle for power - on.

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨
Why do some people keep voting throughout their lives while others drop out? And how do authoritarian elections - even uncompetitive ones- shape citizens’ habits?
