Who should compensate trade losers? 🌍💸
@andduer.bsky.social, @robert-a-huber.bsky.social & Gemma Mateo find across 19 European countries that political elites and the public think differently about how to help those hurt by trade 🎁

Very happy to see this paper published. We examine how elites (legislators) and the public evaluate different policies designed to compensate the losers from trade. Using original survey data from legislators and public opinion surveys in 3 countries, we find only a limited elite–public gap.

4.) We expect an easing of protectionist pressures in the US as public opinion turns against protectionism, lobbying from import-competing companies declines, and pro-trade firms become more vocal.
5.) Consequently, we expect the international trading system to weather the current storm.
3.) Current US trade policy comes close to what we term an "isolationist" trade policy, marked by strong protectionist pressures and a highly salient trade-security linkage.

Here now a brief summary of the key ideas in our paper:
1.) US trade policy has historically been eclectic. At most times, it has combined liberal and protectionist elements.
2.) The international trade system has developed resilience to US departures from liberal commitments.
Very happy that my paper on the future of US trade policy, co-authored with Alessia Invernizzi, is part of this special issue

Because of recent developments, this article about John Mearsheimer has been slightly updated.
A reshare would be appreciated, as many people are still unaware of the narratives he promotes and the platforms where he appears - thank you! @inved.bsky.social

RIP Anton Pelinka. In meinem ersten Semester an der Universität Innsbruck besuchte ich seine Vorlesung Gründzüge der Politikwissenschaft. Die Vorlesung gab einen exzellenten Einblick in die Politikwissenschaft - von Wahlsystemen bis Julius Nyerere.

Paper abstract
Happy to announce a new publication with @yulengzeng.bsky.social in the Journal of Peace Research. We show that sanction shocks lead to a short-term increase in *relative* military spending in the target states. The paper is available open access at: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
