Conversely, external crises (such as international negotiations and war), which often contain the presence of an external audience, reinforce demand for traditional leadership.

We find that internally-induced crises (such as scandals and party mismanagement) are especially conducive to the ascension of women and ethnic minority leaders, because they create demand for ‘clean break’ diversity and encourage ethnic majority men to strategically defer their candidacy

New piece from w/ @hannahbunting.bsky.social & @jess-smith.bsky.social on the Gorton & Denton byelection, and what it might tell us about British politics. We cover turnout, late-deciding voters, gender gaps & the continuing fragmentation of the party system 🧵 theconversation.com/late-decider...

Yay! Super enthusiastic about this project, and can't wait to work with @pavlosvas1.bsky.social, @annasanders.bsky.social and all contributors to put together this Introduction to Voting Behaviour!

Pavlos Vasilopoulos@pavlosvas1.bsky.social

Excited to have signed an editor contract with Oxford University Press for a volume on Voting Behaviour planned to come out in December 2027! We really hope this book will spark social science student interest in the discipline, especially at a time when democracy faces major challenges.
