50 años después de la muerte de Franco, no hay nada que celebrar. Lo que debemos conmemorar es la democracia: la Ley para la Reforma Política, las primeras elecciones y la Constitución. La libertad no llegó sola.

Ser conservador después de Franco
La Transición debe mucho al reformismo moderado, pero la derecha solo empezó a seducir a la mayoría electoral en los años noventa, con su conversión liberal

The Eric Schickler essay in Larry Bartel's symposium on "What Trump Has Taught Us About Political Science" is one of the most insightful pieces I've read in 2025.
US institutions turned out to be weak, and we have to rethink conventional wisdom.

Not as much of an expert as some commenting on this, but I feel like the "welp, this is the end of online survey research" response is a bit defeatist. Provided that the recommendations made in this paper are followed (!!!), I think a transformation of how surveys are implemented is more likely.
new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

In this article, I challenge claims of a generational rise of conservative men. In the media and recent academic publications, the so-called ‘youth gender gap’ has been interpreted as a generational phenomenon.

🎉 Very happy to team up with Andreu Paneque to develop this project funded by the Institut d’Estudis de l’Autogovern. We’ll study how federalism shapes the internal organization of political parties, the leaders they choose, and the issues they emphasize in their electoral platforms. Stay tuned! 📈 📊
💥 I’m very happy to announce that our project has been selected by the IEA to receive one of its Research Grants.
Together with @javiermcanto.bsky.social and a fantastic research team, we will analyse how federalism influences the policy proposals that parties adopt and the leaders they choose.
