Learning from precedent: how the British Brexit experience shapes nationalist rhetoric outside the UK The liberal international order has recently come under increasing nationalist pressure, evidenced by a rise in nationalist demands to withdraw from international institutions. A growing literature...

(5/5) This supports findings from this other great @jeppjournal.bsky.social article by Marco Martini and @stefwalter.bsky.social on how Brexit shapes nationalist rhetoric in media coverage outside the UK. doi.org/10.1080/1350...

(4/5) Mainstream pro-European parties also got a bolder in their #Brexit statements after the vote - increasing the pro-Europeanism in their rhetoric and using it as an opportunity to attack #populists at home and abroad.

(3/5)The descriptive figures show it all: whilst talk of following in the UK’s footsteps was popular pre-referendum vote (June 2016), this almost disappears completely post-vote. I also find that EUsceptics aim to avoid #Brexit in their parliamentary comms.

(2/5) I find that it is very much the latter, as the UK’s negative experience post-referendum revealed new information about the desirability of #EU membership. Data comes from 2,223 Brexit statements between 2013 and 2018 in five legislatures (AT, DE, DK, NL, SE )

(1/5) My article Disintegration and Party Competition is out in the latest issue of @jeppjournal.bsky.social ! I ask how parties in other member states reacted to #Brexit. Do #Eurosceptic challengers frame it as an example to follow? Or do they instead row back on ‘hard’ demands to #leave the EU?

(3/3) I also look forward to acting as a discussant on the panel 'International Law and compliance' (Friday 27 June, 11:20 - 13:00, Room 1A.11) chaired by Niheer Dasandi. Vamos!

(2/3)On Friday 27 June (13:10 - 14:50, Room 1A.11) I present joint work with @ta-huikuri.bsky.social on Women in International negotiations as part of the panel 'Gender Representation: rhetoric and parliamentary speeches' chaired by @clint0475.bsky.social

(1/3) I am excited to be on 2 great panels at #EPSA in Madrid! On Thursday 26 June (09:30 - 11:10, Room 0A.06) I present joint work with @stefwalter.bsky.social on Parties and IOs on the panel ‘Text analysis in the Study of IR’ chaired by @andduer.bsky.social

DISINTEGRATION publication #7 @giorgiomalet.bsky.social shows that French rejection of the EU constitution in the 2005 referendum increased public opposition to the Constitution abroad, an example of cross-national social influence. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Important paper from @stefwalter.bsky.social and the @disintegrationerc.bsky.social project: the backlash against globalisation is less about large shifts in public opinion, more about political entrepreneurs mobilising the issue.
