What a great collection. It’s a real honor for our (@rbakker.bsky.social & @jonathanpolk.bsky.social) paper on multidimensional incongruence and political disaffection to be included alongside some modern classics!
At @jeppjournal.bsky.social, we're collating collections on important topics.

Here are 10 largely empirical papers published in JEPP on 'Public Legitimacy in and about the EU'.

Please do recommend others we might have missed! Room for plenty more.
