Very happy to see this out! Together with Abel Escribà-Folch @politiquesupf.bsky.social @ibei.org we explore whether foreign aid and FDI have opposing effects on dictators' personalism levels 🧵👇

🚨 New paper out at @jeppjournal.bsky.social. We show a growing youth gender gap in far-right support, driven by young men.

BJPolS abstract of a scholarly article discussing the impact of the EU's response to COVID-19 on public support, compared to non-EU countries, with a case study on the UK's vaccine program.

NEW -

Benchmarking pandemic response: How the UK’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout impacted diffuse and specific support for the EU - cup.org/425D2O7

5️⃣ Implications? The EU's ability to deliver results relative to other nations can shape policy support. Benchmarking matters for public perception. 📉

4️⃣ This suggests that short-term performance comparisons matter, but they don't necessarily shake deeper commitments to European integration. 🌍🔍

3️⃣ Our findings? Specific policy support for the EU dropped after the UK's vaccine rollout. However, diffuse support for the EU (general allegiance to the project) remained stable.⚖️

2️⃣ Using an Unexpected Event during Surveys Design (UESD), we analysed Eurobarometer data collected when the UK began vaccinations. This allowed us to measure shifts in public opinion around the time of the vaccine rollout.📊⏳

1️⃣The COVID-19 vaccine rollout in 2020 was a perfect test case. The UK, outside the EU, administered vaccines weeks before EU countries. Did this affect popular support for the EU? 💉🇬🇧
