2/3. The article shows that although youth activism is reshaping global politics, age remains largely undertheorised in IR. It highlights how youth have been framed as victims, risks, or potential, with a newer frame of stakeholders now emerging.

3/4. Support for PRR parties among ethno-religious minorities is very low (6%). Highly racialised groups, such as Muslims and people with Global South or Muslim-majority roots, are far less likely to vote PRR. When minorities do vote PRR, the reasons differ from majority voters

2/4. The study uses 20 years of ESS data (2004–2023) across 28 countries to explore a understudied phenomenon.

3/4. The takeaway: the strength of hybrid democratic innovations lies not in coherence, but in the ongoing negotiation of difference.

2/4. Using Antwerp’s Participatory Budgeting as a case, the article shows how diverse democratic logics are mixed and negotiated in practice.

3/4. The authors' rapid survey (N=1055) revealed:
* A large majority of Germans opposed the US aid freeze, especially due to humanitarian concerns.
* Despite this, most Germans preferred NO change to Germany's own aid budget, neither mimicking cuts nor compensating for the US gap

2/4. The authors examine the German public’s opinion on the USAID shutdown and their preferences for Germany’s and the European Union’s aid policies.

4/5. The research shows this is a two-way process. Polish nationalist myths are adapted ("glocalized") to fuel British far-right narratives, creating a feedback loop. This challenges the assumption that immigrant political participation is uniformly democratic or inclusive.

3/5. 3/5.Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the study reveals how far-right groups in Britain stretch ideas of 'nativeness' to include Polish immigrants. It compares two strategies:

🔹 Civilisationism in parties like Reform
🔹 Transnational White Supremacism (race) in groups like NOP.
