Im Fall Brandenburg wird gerade oft "Wählerwille" bzgl einer Regierung bemüht, den ein Wahlergebnis vermeintlich ausdrückt.

Wie problematisch diese Idee ist, habe ich mit meinen Kolleg*innen @carolinaplescia.bsky.social & Alejandro Ecker nach den LTW-Wahlen 2024 untersucht:

A positive end to the first week back is that the book is now fully available. It's not on their website yet, but it is on mine.

I'm really happy with how it turned out and grateful to all the authors.

Hope it's useful.

(3/3) Five trust profiles emerge, differing in their general level of trust and in their object of trust. Moreover, I find that integration should not be viewed as generally corrosive to trust. Rather, facets of integration and their varying association with different profiles should be recognized.

1/ Does growing up poor always lead to political apathy?

Very happy to share my first paper published (open access) in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, where I show that parents' influence mitigates the poverty gap in participation, while economic mobility does not.

💥 Dieses Wochenende soll in Gießen die neue #Jugendorganisation der #AfD gegründet werden. Dabei geht es vielmehr um organisatorische Professionalisierung als um Mäßigung. Wie es zur Neugründung kam und was sich von der neuen JO erwarten lässt, habe ich für den @verfassungsblog.de analysiert. 👇
