Last week to apply for the @ecprsgeu.bsky.social conference
Consider our section on populism and radical politics 😉

Au Parlement européen, le «cordon sanitaire» censé isoler l’extrême droite s’effiloche sérieusement - Le Temps Le PPE, parti de droite majoritaire dans l’hémicycle, s’est allié à l’extrême droite de l’échiquier politique pour modifier des obligations imposées aux entreprises. Une première au niveau législatif

Still time to apply!

Thanks to D. Stockemer, S. Sawyer and @audreygagnon.bsky.social for inviting me to participate in the online companion.

Euroskepticism

OUT my paper on Euroskepticism in the IPSA Companion to Political Science.
I explore it as a complex concept, used both as a dependent and independent variable in the literature.
The handbook is a great teaching resource with ultra-short syntheses of key concepts.
