🚀 Very first publication in PLC in 2026, a research note by Thomas Laloux, Tom Delreux & Emilien Mercenier (ISPOLE-UCLouvain) on whether the Belgian 2024 Presidency of the Council of the EU was successful in reaching trilogue deals on prioritised files, & what explains the variation in that success.
📢 PLC will be in the spotlight at the 13th ed. of State of the Federation, the ABSP-VPW conference. Join our editors-in-chief @mauritsmeijers.bsky.social & @audreyvdleene.bsky.social on Feb 6 in Antwerp for the launch session of PLC as Diamond Open Access journal 💎

To understand discrimination in politics, we need to understand "strategic descriptive representation without substantive representation."
Because what is it worth when we have more women, minorities, or Muslims etc. in politics when they cannot stand for the issues that benefit their own groups?
If you don't know it yet, have a look at the possibilities offered by the new probability sample in Belgium, @thesocialstudy.bsky.social !

👉The gender gap in political ambition is not self-evident; it can be overcome with socialization efforts in schools, youth party sections, but also families!
♀️♂️So can we promote equal participation of women and men in political roles (candidates or political advisors) and advance gender equality.
📣Publication alert 📣
Why are men more keen in taking the political plunge than women?
🙅♀️Not because of the competitive nature of politics
➡️Rather driven by political interest, trust in one's political capacities, enjoying convincing others and teenage political discussions at home
