Just published in @bjpols.bsky.social: @sergipardos.bsky.social and I show that inter-regional moves in pursuit of employment security reduce individual worries about immigration—a mobility pattern that, in the aggregate, reinforces spatial polarization in anti-immigration sentiment. cup.org/3XiB6yD

Time to reshare this piece on the pitfalls of following the road Denmark has taken on immigration: ukandeu.ac.uk/denmarks-mig...

It's "Let's copy Denmark" season again. With politicians and journalists making claims about a country they very clearly know absolutely nothing about. Did you know the Danish People's Party isn't the only radical right party in Denmark? No? Maybe you should not use the country as a reference point

UK to announce plans to emulate stringent Danish immigration system

Proposals draw scorn from some Labour MPs who say it is a ‘dangerous path’ to take, while others want the government to go further Shabana Mahmood is to announce changes to the UK’s immigration rules modelled on the Danish system, largely seen as among the most stringent in Europe, the Guardian understands. Last month, the home secretary dispatched officials to Denmark to study its border control and asylum policies. The country’s tighter rules on family reunions and restricting some refugees to a temporary stay are among the policies being looked at. Continue reading...

It's really pundit brain on steroids when people claim that Mamdani's win does not have more news or informational value than oder Democrat wins last night. The centrist narrative must live on no matter what.

Cas Ⓜ️udde @casmudde.bsky.social · 6d

Pundits are trying to minimize Mamdani’s victory, pointing to bigger victory margins for Democratic governors in NJ and VA. What they ignore is:

German judges have discretion to apply rehabilitative juvenile criminal law (Jugendstrafrecht) or punitive adult criminal law to 18–20-year-old offenders. We show that immigrant youths are ~10 percentage points less likely to be sentenced under juvenile law

Immer, wenn jemand schreibt, der SPD helfe keine linkere Politik, denke ich an diese Studie, in der das Gegenteil steht und die quasi vorausgesagt hat, dass insb. junge Wähler*innen bei der nächsten BTW die Linke wählen würden.

D66 really illustrates how fragmentation shapes the transformation of European party politics. In 1994, D66 received a similar vote share as this year (15.5% vs 16.9%). In 1994, they joined the first Kok government as only the third strongest party. This time they will probably lead the government

Mit dem SRF Echo der Zeit habe ich heute über die Wahl in den Niederlanden gesprochen, darüber warum Einbindung in die Regierung die radikale Rechte nicht schwächt und warum „Anstand“ auch falsch verstandene Normalisierung sein kann.

And I don’t even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.
