Haha, this brings back memories of @klingelt.bsky.social and me walking 20,000 steps a day to manually collect campaign posters in Germany this February (which I'm currently analyzing 😉).

Balkendiagramm aus der FWF-Studie 2025 zur Situation des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses. Zur Aussage „Die Karriereperspektiven sind zu unsicher“ (Wert 5) stimmen 64 % voll und ganz und 18 % eher zu (Wert 4).

Balkendiagramm aus der FWF-Studie 2025 zu Reformvorschlägen im Wissenschaftssystem. 91 % befürworten den Ausbau unbefristeter Stellen unterhalb der Professur (davon 76 % voll und ganz + 15 % eher).

Neue FWF-Studie (vorgestellt im Sept.) zu Postdocs bestätigt, was wir seit Jahren sagen:

- 82 % finden die Karriereperspektiven zu unsicher,
- 91 % fordern mehr unbefristete Stellen unterhalb der Professur.

Das Problem ist bekannt – wann wird es endlich gelöst? 🤷‍♀️

A short 🧵:

I might steal this one 👀

A few weeks ago I arrived from fieldwork in Peru, where I was collecting archival data on the internal armed conflict. Today I finally have a new version of this paper examining how the conflict affected and continues to affect the success of female politicians francisca-castro.com/research/wor...

💥 Update! 💥

This paper is now officially published in Volume 30, Issue 4 of The International Journal of Press/Politics! 🗳️

Experimental evidence that voters prefer moderately tailored messages - highly tailored ones can backfire & targeting can be too much: doi.org/10.1177/1940... #IJPP

Very much looking forward to a great discussion 👇

The expansion of voting rights beyond territory and citizenship marks a major democratic development of the last fifty years. Migrant suffrage has been mostly studied from a state-centric perspective. But the rights that migrants hold emerge from specific combinations of the country of residence and the country of citizenship. From this migrant-centric perspective, what is the diagnosis of the spread and status of global migrant suffrage? We present franchise constellations as a migrant-centric framework for studying voting rights. Drawing on the most comprehensive dataset on migrant electoral rights, combined with novel data on nationality-specific restrictions, we compute almost 1.3 million dyad-year observations based on 172 countries between 1960 and 2020. Using migrant stock data, we find that at least 74 million migrants remained completely disenfranchised in 2020. Bilateral and multilateral efforts emerge as a fruitful path for addressing global migrant disenfranchisement.

➡️📍📑 New Working Paper
with @sumpierrez.bsky.social and Rainer Bauböck

Work on migrant voting rights often has a state-centric perspective. We propose *migrant franchise constellations* as a migrant-centric approach.

A 🧵 with our argument and new data! 🗳️

I’m also chairing a panel on "Party Adaptation" (Sat, 8am PDT) and discussing papers on "Candidate Traits, Cues, and Electability" (Thu, 8am PDT).

Many thanks to @oegpw.bsky.social, ÖFG, and @apsa.bsky.social for funding this trip 🙏

If you’re in Vancouver and want to meet up - let me know! 🇨🇦

… and on Saturday at 12pm PDT I’ll present joint work with @meinungsfuehrer.bsky.social on targeting issue messages in online campaigns 🎯

It’s part of a panel on Political Parties’ Online Communication Strategies in Election Campaigns organized by @zeynsom.bsky.social 👇👀

On my way to Vancouver 🇨🇦 for my first @apsa.bsky.social ! 🥳 Starting off with the @polcomm.bsky.social Preconfoerence tomorrow presenting a new project with @klingelt.bsky.social on „The Geography of Electioneering in Multi-Party Systems: Evidence from Campaign Poster Locations in Central Berlin“

Wow, gratuliere Constantin! 🥳

I feel you. It worked okay for me when I converted the PDF with Acrobat Pro to Word but I also always wondered if there is really no better way.

Here are some preliminary results from the project, which I will talk about again at the "20th Anniversary Roundtable: Politics and Gender and Political Science" at the @apsa.bsky.social Annual Meeting on September 14th!

Die Regierungsbildung: 🤝

🕒 Nach 155 Tagen (der längsten in der öst. Geschichte) bildeten ÖVP, SPÖ und NEOS die erste 3-Parteien-Koalition seit 1947.
❌ Die FPÖ, obwohl stärkste Partei, wurde von der Regierung ausgeschlossen.
⚖️ Die neue Koalition fand hohe Zustimmung bei ihren Unterstützer:innen.

Die Ergebnisse: 📊

🇦🇹 FPÖ erstmals stärkste Partei (Erholung von Verlusten 2019), ÖVP und Grüne mit starken Verlusten.
💉 Besseres FPÖ-Ergebnis in Regionen mit niedrigen Impfquoten, aber Pandemie spielte nur eine begrenzte Rolle.
🌆 Städtisch-ländliche und demografische Spaltung vertieft.

Der Wahlkampf: 📢

😴 Trotz turbulenter Vorgeschichte verlief der Wahlkampf 2024 überraschend unspektakulär.
♻️ Wichtige Themen für Wähler:innen waren Inflation, Migration, Sozialpolitik und Klima.
🌊 Eine schwere Überschwemmung lenkte den Fokus auf Krisenmanagement und verstärkte die Klimadebatte.

Hintergrund: 📜

🏝️ Die "Ibiza-Affäre" 2019 brachte die ÖVP-FPÖ-Koalition zu Fall.
🌍 COVID-19, niedrige Impfquoten und Inflation prägten die Legislaturperiode.
⚖️ Spannungen: Führungsprobleme und politische Konflikte belasteten die ÖVP-Grünen-Koalition, die dennoch die volle Amtszeit überstand.
