Abstract of the article "Asset or Liability? The Effect of National Approval Ratings on Regional Election Results" by Martin Gross and Svenja Krauss. Published online first in German Politics.
💥 New publication w/ @svenjakrauss.bsky.social in German Politics:
"Asset or Liability? The Effect of National Approval Ratings on Regional Election Results"
Why do some autonomy disputes suddenly turn into secessionist explosions?💥
@felixschulte.bsky.social, @mscanti.bsky.social & Maria Ackrén show that it is not just institutions or long-term grievances, but also triggering events that signal a loss of autonomy and change everything.

📖 Paper out @epsrjournal.bsky.social (w/ @mscanti.bsky.social/ Maria Ackrén)
➡️ Why do secessionist waves erupt at a specific point in time? We argue that timing often hinges on highly symbolic events signalling a loss of autonomy.

Important political tests in 🇩🇪 this September, with elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg. Populist parties are rising, but regional incumbency may also affect the outcomes, as discussed in this article by @mscanti.bsky.social, Ed Turner, and me.
