Why do rustbelts vote radical right? Studying the German Ruhr area, @nilsblossey.bsky.social, @lstoetze.bsky.social and I show: it’s not just about deindustrialization, but also about the original industrialization. Where coal is buried deeper and mining started later, the AfD is stronger today 1/12

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

Das Ruhrgebiet war lange Deutschlands größte Industrieregion und eine Hochburg der SPD. Auch 2021 blieb es weitestgehend rot. Doch 2025 ist es rot-schwarz-blau.
Um diesen Wandel zu verstehen, lohnt sich ein Blick auf die Unterschiede innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen.
