We study the role of generations in the urban-rural divide, which is increasingly shaping the politics of many democracies.

Studying Switzerland, we show: The urban-rural divide is stronger among younger generations. (1/10) 🧵👇

Yes. But also, Orbán was in power for 14 years until finally a successful challenger emerged and Orbán's popularity drastically declined. So the interesting question to ask is: Why now? And why was Magyar so much more successful in his anti-corruption messaging than others before him?

How are contemporary cleavage structures stabilized in times of declining mass social and political organizations?

In this new paper with @davidattewell6.bsky.social @bjpols.bsky.social, we suggest that homogeneous social (educational) networks provide part of the answer.

Etched in Marble: Daniel Ziblatt on Writing, Struggle, and How Democracy Depends on Both Writers on the Forces That Shape Us and the Writing That Endures

Daniel Ziblatt writes the way he studies democracy: with discipline, patience, and a refusal to look away from complexity.

He writes with the conviction that democracy depends on the continuous work of understanding.

Gender gap in voting behavior in Germany📊

It's about the “big picture” since 1953 & current trends 2021-2025.

The gender gap keeps growing, especially among the young.

-> Longer trends are continuing & partly accelerating.

In Spain, what once seemed impossible is now widespread: the young are turning to the far right | María Ramírez Migration is barely mentioned – instead, failed policies on housing, wages and employment are driving young voters into the arms of Vox, says María Ramírez, deputy managing editor of elDiario.es

Does the EPP really vote with the far right? 5 things we learned from the data. Here’s what POLITICO’s analysis of European Parliament first-year plenary votes shows.

One year after the 2024 election bolstered right-wing forces in the European Parliament, POLITICO’s data shows that they don’t team up often — but win when they do.

This is such a small world. I’ve just spent a day in Hungary discussing #illiberalism and woke up to this Jimmy #Kimmel story. Trump & co. don’t need direct lessons from Hungary—some of their moves are already beyond #Orbán in radicalism. 1/8
