Finally, our investigation of important outliers highlights a number of interesting inter-round dynamics that can negate or amplify the effect of closeness and need to be studies in further detail.

Finally, our investigation of important outliers highlights a number of interesting inter-round dynamics that can negate or amplify the effect of closeness and need to be studies in further detail.
We show that closeness in the first round significantly increases turnout in the second round AND the effect is larger than previously reported for legislative elections. In contrast, a strong third-placed candidate decreases turnout.

The effect of closeness on turnout has been widely studied, yet not specifically in the context of presidential run-off elections. Our paper fills this gap with an original data set of 16 European democracies #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1080/1745...

However, even when authoritarian populists have already come to power strategic delegitimization remains an important part of their tool kit and continues to be employed to justify changes to counter-majoritarian institutions.

However, even when authoritarian populists have already come to power strategic delegitimization remains an important part of their tool kit and continues to be employed to justify changes to counter-majoritarian institutions.
Using the example of independent judiciaries, we outline how authoritarian populists often engage in strategic delegitimization campaigns to change public opinion on courts in order to weaken a key adversary and prepare the ground for more substantial changes.

Many thanks to @zeynsom.bsky.social for this wonderful review of @allansikk.bsky.social's and my book "Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution" (OUP 2023) in European Political Science! Read the full review here 👉 doi.org/10.1057/s413... More about the book here 👉 doi.org/10.1093/oso/...
![[…] Party People makes important contributions to the political parties and party systems literature with a new measure of party change, an original party-candidates dataset that covers a long period across nine CEE democracies, and in-depth discussions of different parties/party systems in CEE. And, the contributions and implications of Party People are not unique to CEE. The convincing argument for studying candidate changes to better understand party change is generalizable to all other democracies with political parties and elections and makes this book a must-read for all political party scholars.
