In this article, recently out for @wepsocial.bsky.social, @henrikseeberg.bsky.social and I present key findings from our coding of party youth wing statutes in 11 countries. Bonus: data available here! 👇🏼 dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtm...

🏛️ Do party youth wings get a real say? @sofiamarini.bsky.social and @henrikseeberg.bsky.social hand-code 57 youth wing statutes from 11 countries. Most of them have high levels of internal democracy and autonomy from the senior party but low access to the senior party. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0140...

📢 New publication! 📢 So happy to see this paper finally out @epsrjournal.bsky.social ! Looking at public perceptions of party positions in 29 elections across 20 European countries, I test whether populist radical parties are seen as more moderate when they are part of a government coalition. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Are governing populist radical parties perceived as more moderate❓️ ➡️ My results show that this is not consistently the case. But one goup of voters does perceive them as more moderate: supporters of their mainstream coalition partners - possible enablers of populist radical parties' normalization.
