Honored to share that my book Parties under Pressure has been awarded the Brian Farrell Prize by the @psaireland.bsky.social for the best book in political science in 2024. A massive thanks to all who supported me, including the fantastic team @uchicagopress.bsky.social. Book: tinyurl.com/bp7tpr4a

I had an amazing time at @ces-europe.bsky.social, including a great discussion about my @uchicagopress.bsky.social book (tinyurl.com/bp7tpr4a). Thanks so much to @amelahmed.bsky.social and Michael Bernhard for the fantastic comments and to @wegschaider.bsky.social for chairing (and the picture!).

And if you're an early bird (or are still jet-lagged), Amel Ahmed, Michael Bernhard & I will be discussing my recent @uchicagopress.bsky.social book tomorrow/Friday at 9am @ces-europe.bsky.social. Join us for a conversation about party politics, democracy & comparative-historical analysis.

Mixed feelings about being back in the US, but delighted to see so many wonderful friends and colleagues again @ces-europe.bsky.social. If you're around, please join us Friday/tomorrow morning for our panel on advances in the study of temporality in historical political analysis.😀Details 👇

The book examines why political parties vary in their ability to pass adaptive reforms when under pressure to update their offers to voters. Its main argument seeks to redeem an often-vilified concept in the study of political parties - party factions. Abstract 👇 & link tinyurl.com/bde8z88w (2/2)

Reallly looking forward to #PSA25 next week. If you're interested in democracy & political parties, please come and join us for the roundtable on my recent @uchicagopress.bsky.social book Parties under Pressure. Wed, 16 Apr, 3.30pm, The Rep-LOB102. @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/bp7tpr4a

With 🇩🇪's new parliament meeting yesterday & the far right already giving us a taste of what to expect from it, I'm delighted to speak at this roundtable, co-organized by @psa-parliaments.bsky.social, @iparl.bsky.social & @psagermanpol.bsky.social. You can register via forms.office.com/e/8EN9X1qmyL.

While the AfD's strength in the polls has attracted a lot of attention with a month 2go until the German election, the more important consideration for government formation is actually likely to be the result of the smaller parties. A brief 🧵on the new Politbarometer poll. (1/)

Very happy to see my U Chicago Press book PARTIES UNDER PRESSURE (tinyurl.com/bp7tpr4a) featuring on @tcddublin.bsky.social's official season's greetings card 🙂Very grateful to be part of such a lively academic community! Happy holidays, everyone!

The proofs for my book @UChicagoPress are here😊I feel beyond grateful to all who walked with me on this journey! The book aims to speak to those interested in European politics, party factions, or why and how parties (struggle to) change and reform. Publication in summer 2024! Polisky Comparativesky
