Polarisation curve for the US Congress between 2011 and 2016, peaking around the release of the Clean Power Plan in the summer of 2015.
In this new paper with @fisherdanar.bsky.social in Politics and Governance, we distinguish intrinsic and instrumental polarisation and analyse polarisation curves and phases in US climate politics. We also present new methods for discourse networks. doi.org/10.17645/pag... @cogitatiopag.bsky.social

Three stages with ideal-type network structures. The first stage shows two separate clusters of solution-oriented actors and actors with vested interests. The second stage shows a disaggregation into multiple clusters of each kind. The third stage shows emerging advocacy coalitions as clusters cutting across the two types of actors.
A discourse network diagram with nodes and edges, corresponding to the first stage of the theory, with several clusters.
A discourse network diagram with nodes and edges, corresponding to the second stage of the theory, with more clusters than before, in COVID-19 policy making in the UK.

French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump found
France’s research minister said the scientist was traveling to Houston for a conference when his phone was searched
After the US denied entry to a French academic en route to a conference recently (and some other cases of detained German citizens), I have decided not to attend US conferences until further notice. It's too much hassle and money to risk being detained. Sorry. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
