Excited to have this paper on social networks as a mechanism for cleavage stabilization with @dpzollinger.bsky.social out!
If we have you intrigued, also pairs with (and empirically engages) our theoretical piece on puzzles of contemporary cleavage research:

Getting organized for the 2026 CES conference (deadline fast approaching); if you have a paper you're planning to present that is either on 1.) group appeals, or 2.) contemporary sources of social closure, lmk and we can see whether there's enough overlap for a shared panel submission! #polisky

Abstract for article
I have a new article out on wage-earner funds, a famous attempt at economic democracy in Sweden in the 70s & 80s. It explores the funds' defeat, emphasising the issue's stronger resonance with businesses compared to workers & the Social Democratic Party

The populist right makes enormous gains (+12pp!) and the clear winner in a campaign dominated by economic issues and despite the immigration issue being almost absent. However they are unlikely to gain much political power from their new seats given the make-up of the incoming Parliament

It's now certain, but the rural-agrarian Centre Party, while suffering heavy losses, will be kingmakers in Parliament. Their leader underlines in his speech that no one can take them for granted - reminding Labour that the Centre party will require influence to not switch sides.

Lausanne n’est pas Clichy-sous-bois et ne le sera probablement jamais. - Mountazar Jaffar
"Le problème ne relève ni de l’urbanisme ni de la précarité comme en banlieues françaises, mais d’un sentiment croissant d’injustice face au racisme structurel."
