How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?

In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

💡 How does moving to opportunity reshape political behavior?

🗞️ In our new BJPolS paper, @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that residential relocations that increase access to opportunity foster political integration and shift political preferences to the left.

🚨 New piece for @ecpr.bsky.social's @ecprtheloop.bsky.social — @maxheermann.bsky.social & I map trips of world leaders using @josefkorbelschool.bsky.social's COLT of over 78K+ foreign trips by heads of state and gov from 1990-2023.
Reference: bsky.app/profile/jose...
Network visualization of foreign diplomatic visits using the COLT dataset. - Countries are shown as circular nodes sized by the number of inbound visits. - Node color indicates world region: blue for Asia, yellow for Europe, red for Africa, green for Latin America and the Caribbean, pink for Oceania, and purple for Northern America. - Directed arrows represent path of state visits from a leader’s country to their first destination, with line thickness indicating visit frequency in each decade. Edge colors denote decades: dark blue (1990s), orange (2000s), and light green (2010s–2023).

#OpenAccess
BJPolS abstract describing a study on the consequences of civil society participation in international human rights complaints mechanisms, specifically focusing on the effectiveness of shaming and repressing strategies by civil society organizations (CSOs).

(1/5) My article Disintegration and Party Competition is out in the latest issue of @jeppjournal.bsky.social ! I ask how parties in other member states reacted to #Brexit. Do #Eurosceptic challengers frame it as an example to follow? Or do they instead row back on ‘hard’ demands to #leave the EU?

And now we get to watch as potentially epoch changing events occur. There's a very 19th Century feel about the sight of the US and Russia discussing European borders. Though rather than Vienna or Berlin, modern day statecraft apparently happens in Saudi. 5/5
