👩‍🔬The ERC Synergy Grant is one of the most important European scientific funding schemes.
🏆The last call received 712 proposals, 66 were selected = 9,4% success rate.
🙋‍♀️Se rumorea que hay una politóloga argentina entre los ganadores. Yo no lo desmiento. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

Winter is coming, and so is the weekend. Perfect time to watch more movies. Here are my suggestions of the best recent French films I’ve seen recently.

Spaniards, Franco is dead.
Fifty years.
Fortunately, history doesn’t repeat itself. But be aware, it does rhyme.

It’s that simple:
A government of the rich legislates for the rich.
A government of the corrupt steals.
A government of extremists persecutes anyone who doesn’t resemble them.

Power acts according to who holds it.
That’s why it must be occupied.

Hace dos años con @fdelledonne.bsky.social titulamos
🎧 Las mil caras del populismo al podcast que dio difusion a la investigación coord. por @paulinaastrozas.bsky.social.

Una reedición implicaría hablar de las cien mil caras del populismo 😱

I’m glad to take part in the round table “From Page to Screen: One Hundred Years of Solitude.” It will be a pleasure to discuss how García Márquez’s masterpiece has been reimagined for contemporary audiences.

🎧 What to do in times of democracy decline?
Mainstream narratives focus so narrowly on the rise of the far right, yet reality is more fluid. There’s still plenty of room for political dialogue and collective action. Not easy, but worth trying! We talk about this @unrisd.org 👇

Didn’t know, interesting. (Switzerland allows voters to rank options in popular initiatives.) Political actors learn, not always for good, how to use institutions. From time to time, a renewal is required, but the problem is that those with the capacity to do it are mostly driven by self-interest.

Why not consider a slightly more complex voting system, one that allows citizens to indicate:
1) their favorite candidate ✅
2) the one they most reject, ❎ and
3) a second preference ✅
Such a system could generate radically different incentives for the political arena.

Institutions really matter!
If there were no 2º round in Chile, Jara (a communist) would win. Since there is a 2º round, the one with the best chances is whoever comes in second from the right.

Rules shape the incentives of political actors — parties and society alike — so maintaining a degree of stability is essential, I fully agree. My point about the “fiction” refers to the growing weight of negative mandates: voters choosing against someone rather than in favor of someone.

Impossible to decide out of context. Plurality (1st) was expected to reduce incentives x party proliferation, but today it could help an extremist gain power. A runoff system increases legitimacy (broader support) but can also be negative or somewhat fictitious. Time to think of something else!
