Two weeks ago, I defended my PhD dissertation on the making and unmaking of stringent climate policies in the housing sector! What a day to finish these four years at the @eui-sps.bsky.social!

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Radical-right parties are often linked to the “left-behind”. But supporting them when stigma is strong is costly. So who is willing to pay that cost early on, before it’s normalized?
In my new WP, I argue that breaking political norms is socially stratified. 🧵👇
It’s striking how much these patterns are similar across many European counties (both the center left one and the radical right one).
And yet there’s much work to be done in shifting the discourse from competing narratives that have little empirical backing.
“.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmatic—waiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a deal—only embolden ..”

If you’re a political scientist please consider joining @epssnet.bsky.social as a member to help support this new (not for profit!) organization and the next European Political Science Conference in 2026 in Belfast 👇
If that’s not in the budget: spreading the word is just as important 😊
Et c'est justement la semaine prochaine que devraient être publiées les premières estimations pour les émissions de GES nationales du 1er trimestre qui devraient être très mauvaises.
On compte sur les politiques pour enfin réagir (et sur les journalistes pour les interroger sur le sujet).
On est juste à +1.3º. Ce n’est rien comparé à ce qui nous attend. Que signifient compétitivité, croissance, souveraineté, innovation, sécurité, travail, retraites ou démocratie à +2º?
Plus le mercure grimpe, plus on recule sur la transition. Que faut-il faire pour que nos décideurs comprennent?
🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar.
We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads.
What we find is disturbing:
