@casmudde.bsky.socialReposted by @manesweisskircher.bsky.socialThis is a wonderful study @lwestheuser.bsky.social & Koen Damhuis, showing the unique contribution qualitative research can make to a field dominated by quantitative studies (but, of course, created by qualitative scholars). 👏

@tamtagelashvili.bsky.socialReposted by @manesweisskircher.bsky.socialThe final paper of my PhD is now out in @democratization.bsky.social!

My starting point was a paradox: the far right is global, yet most of what we know about it comes from research on a handful of countries in Western Europe 1/9

@manesweisskircher.bsky.social🆕 Our article "Varieties of left-wing authoritarianism?" shows how #BSW branches differ on key issues, what party and voters (don't) share, and what this reveals about an emerging ideology (with E. Linhart, @drphilphil.bsky.social, @benjaminhoehne.bsky.social).

@arminschaefer.bsky.socialReposted by @manesweisskircher.bsky.socialAfter Saxony-Anhalt, next Sunday's regional vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania could be even more devastating for the Christian Democrats. If current trends continue, the SPD may end up in first place, ahead of the AfD. The Greens and BSW are struggling to clear the electoral threshold, but...

@nilssteiner.bsky.socialReposted by @manesweisskircher.bsky.socialWhat do yesterday’s ST results imply for liberal democracy? In our ongoing nationwide survey, we asked about support for liberal democracy (following doi.org/10.1177/0010...). Acceptance of & ambivalence toward illiberal action are worryingly widespread, though majorities reject each transgression.
@manesweisskircher.bsky.social@manesweisskircher.bsky.socialWhy is the #AfD so strong in eastern Germany? And what does this say about Germany's enduring east-west divide?
Some context for today’s election in Saxony-Anhalt: my 2020 article for @politicalquarterly.bsky.social - unfortunately, still highly relevant.
