One of the few individual-level studies in the Turkish context, we also show that affective polarisation rises with age, political interest, and social media use, while declining with education.
It is a real pleasure working with the Depolarize team! Onwards ✍️

Using pre-election survey data, we map contours of affective polarisation in Turkey 🇹🇷 and show how it boosted AKP voter loyalty in the 2023 elections.

It was a pleasure working with the Phoenix team: Susan Rottmann, Ela Gokalp Aras, İnci Aksu Kargın, @karakoc.bsky.social & Shubhi Misra.

By focusing on human agency, we highlight how local challenges vary and inform mobility decisions, what climate-affected communities actually want from policymakers, and how the top-down global narratives complicate the issue. A more grounded approach to climate mobility is long overdue.

Most IOs approach climate mobility through a polycrisis or macrotrend lens, treating it as an inevitable crisis demanding extraordinary measures. But this framing overlooks local realities, complexity of mobility decisions, and resilience of people. It reduces choices to forced displacement.
