Takeaway from this article (now with page numbers!): men support political gender quota/ parity laws less than women (whether legal quotas exist in their country or not), but people *do not* believe women elected in a system with quotas are less qualified / support them less. Because…: they aren’t!

🧠 Are democracies trapped by their own complexity—or strengthened by it? New study from the SUPA team in @jeppjournal.bsky.social shows that openness builds resilience, not overload.

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇
