Does populist anti-climate rhetoric reduce support for climate policy?

Testing socio-cultural and economic frames through a survey experiment in the 🇬🇧, @dianebolet.bsky.social and co-authors show it is indeed the case.

📰 Une Ă©tude des programmes des partis d’extrĂȘme droite en Europe montre de fortes variations dans le rapport Ă  l’État et au marchĂ©. DerriĂšre cette apparente incohĂ©rence, un principe demeure : la prĂ©fĂ©rence nationale.

How do ethnicity and religiosity determine whether the left-authoritarian space gets populated, and by whom, in Eastern Europe?
And what Western party systems can learn about it.

National and socialist: political representation in the left-authoritarian quadrant in Eastern Europe
Jan Rovny, Sciences Po, Paris, France
Abstract: 
The left-authoritarian quadrant of the political space contains forces that are simultaneously ‘national’ and ‘socialist’. Such a combination of positions is rare in Western Europe, but is clearly gaining political traction. Eastern Europe, on the other hand, has been a home to left-authoritarian parties for a long time. This article addresses the characteristics of left-authoritarian parties and their supporters in Eastern Europe, uncovering an interesting paradox – Eastern European left-authoritarians herald from a diversity of ideological families, yet tend to propose similar policies. This article explains this phenomenon by demonstrating the formative role of non-economic divides, particularly ethnicity and religiosity. The article underscores how ethnicity and religiosity determine whether the left-authoritarian space gets populated, and by whom. In doing so, the article provides valuable lessons for Western party systems that will likely see increasing left-authoritarian supply in the near future.

Territorial reform: Why reform one level rather than another?

In đŸ‡«đŸ‡·, departments were repeatedly portrayed as redundant but the 2014–2015 reform instead imposed compulsory mergers on regions.

Le gouverment des idées
Santé, experts et démocratie aux Etats-Unis.
Ulrike Lepont

Think tanks, fondations, centres universitaires : en quoi ces organisations participent-elles Ă  la fabrication des politiques publiques Ă©tats-uniennes ? Quel en est l’impact politique ? Sont-elles une garantie de pluralisme et d’indĂ©pendance de l’expertise, comme cela est parfois affirmĂ© ? Sont-elles au contraire, Ă  l’image de la Heritage Foundation si proche de l’admi­nistration Trump, responsables de la droitisation du pays depuis les cinquante derniĂšres annĂ©es ? S’appuyant sur une enquĂȘte socio-historique de longue durĂ©e sur les rĂ©formes de la protection maladie aux États-Unis, cet ouvrage explore ce monde mĂ©connu de l’expertise non gouvernementale et des professionnels qui le composent – les health policy analysts. Il propose le concept de « pĂ©ri-administration » pour penser cet espace, aujourd’hui si insĂ©rĂ© dans le systĂšme politique Ă©tats-unien qu’il participe directement des capacitĂ©s Ă  agir de l’État fĂ©dĂ©ral.

Grand angle - La vie politique peut-elle ĂȘtre morale ?

par Pierre Lascoumes

Depuis les scandales de corruption de la fin du XXe siĂšcle, la France s'est dotĂ©e d'un arsenal juridique et d'institutions dĂ©diĂ©es pour encadrer les conduites politiques, sans pour autant atteindre la transparence espĂ©rĂ©e. Pierre Lascoumes, directeur de recherche Ă©mĂ©rite CNRS au CEE de Sciences Po et spĂ©cialiste des politiques de lutte contre la corruption, est revenu sur ce lent processus de normalisation et sur ses limites persistantes pour la revue ConfĂ©rence n°5, La Ve RĂ©publique sous tension (juin 2026). La vie politique peut-elle vraiment ĂȘtre morale, et qu'y peuvent les institutions ?

How can parties expand their volunteer base?

Drawing from field experiments in đŸ‡łđŸ‡±, @jonnekamphorst.bsky.social &

Get Out the Volunteer: Encouraging Diverse Political Party Activism

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  09 September 2026

Abstract

Political parties in advanced democracies face a dual challenge: fewer citizens are willing to volunteer, and those who remain active are disproportionately older and male. This is troubling given the central role that volunteers play in campaigns and party processes. Whether party leaders can recruit a larger and more diverse activist base remains an open question. We partnered with a major party in the Netherlands and conducted two field experiments before the 2021 general and 2022 municipal elections, targeting over 35,000 party members. The party randomized whether members received a personal call, an email or both. Results show that calls—where members could voice their opinions—increased volunteer sign-up rates (83% in Study 1 and 361% in Study 2), especially among younger members. By contrast, emails had no effect. These findings clarify mixed evidence in the literature, suggesting that voice opportunities are key to expanding and diversifying the activist base.
