We are really excited to kick this semester's InFER Colloquium & Comparative Politics Speaker Series off with a talk by Valerie Sticher (@ethz.ch): "Satellite Data for Understanding and Monitoring Armed Conflict”
Join us next tuesday!
Wir suchen für ein Drittmittelprojekt an der TU Chemnitz Verstärkung auf einer vollen Stelle. Analysiert werden Einstellungen von jungen Gewerkschaftsmitgliedern. Mehr Infos hier:
www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/p...
Daran anschließend stelle ich mir nun Fragen wie Gewerkschaften mit einer heterogeneren Gesellschaftsstruktur umgehen.
Siehe dazu auch das RISS-Projekt @infer-frankfurt.bsky.social was kürzlich von der @dfg.de für eine zweite Förderphase bewilligt wurde.

Fazit: Low-skilled INSIDER & low-skilled OUTSIDER haben den größten Einfluss auf die Positionen der Gewerkschaft, weil sie die Mitgliederstärksten & aktivsten Gruppen sind.
Many thanks to SI-Guest Editors: Ekaterina Domorenok, Paolo Graziano, Matteo Mandelli, & @kzimmermann.bsky.social.
Also special thanks to @nilskupzok.bsky.social & anonymous reviewers for constructive comments.
Our paper is part of the @reggovjournal.bsky.social Special Issue “Bringing the Ecological and the Social Together in the Green Transition: A Multilevel Analysis”.

Research so far has overlooked the role of subsidies in ensuring broad-based support for eco-social policy from both unions & employer associations.
We show that green subsidies tend to reduce opposition, & increase support for eco-social policy.
Can the IRA’s green subsidies ensure its political survival under Trump?
We believe that green subsidies may very well prove resilient in the long run, thanks to business, labor, Democratic, & moderate Republican support.
USA: we also show support for green subsidies among American business organizations & trade unions. Business groups see innovation & green tech gains; unions support them as subsidies are tied to pro-labor standards (positive-sum effect).
07.10.2025 08:49 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🚨 Important for our other argument is that the unions support green subsidies because they are only paid to companies in which collective agreements or other forms of union representation are in place (positive-sum).
07.10.2025 08:49 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In Germany: as we had expected green subsidies play an important role in increasing the support of eco-social policy reforms.
All of the most representative business associations & trade unions agree that green subsidies should be used to manage the transformation process.
We focused on the most important trade unions & business organizations in 🇩🇪 & the 🇺🇸.
We collected 93 documents (press releases, minutes of public meetings, & information from web pages) and additionally, we used 15 interviews with organization representatives and with experts on the IRA.
💡In short💡
We believe that the organizations that benefit from a particular green subsidy will be much more likely to support eco-social policy.
We argue that green subsidies facilitate support for eco-social policies by transforming a zero-sum game of risks, costs, & distributional conflict into a mutually beneficial, positive sum game of benefits for both unions & businesses.

How do organised interests shape welfare state reforms? In this chapter, we review various political economy approaches to explaining ongoing reforms. We also discuss the challenges of member mobilisation & political influence in times of multiple crises.

Vielen Dank für die Einladung und die tolle Veranstaltung.
Bei 250-300 Teilnehmenden war es kontrovers, aber fair & ein Ausdruck konstruktiver Debattenkultur.
Weiterhin viel Erfolg im Wahlkampf!
Kommunalwahlen in NRW am 14. September 2025 und ich freue mich heute Abend eine Wahlarena im Oberbergischen Kreis zu moderieren.
