You have the choice next year between the for-profit and the not-for-profit model of a European political science conference👇. I don’t think there needs to be said anything more on this. Looking forward to seeing many at @epssnet.bsky.social

EPSS @epssnet.bsky.social · Aug 7

EPSA have announced that they will hold a conference in July 2026.

😵‍💫 We understand that there might be some confusion about EPSS and EPSA.

👉🏽 So we thought we would clarify some things.

Really important PSA: it currently looks like there may be both an EPSS and an EPSA conference next summer. Please make sure people in your networks understand this distinction (see thread below).

As authoritarianism is on the rise, one way for liberal democracies to fight back is to show they can also deliver the goods.

New research out this morning with @profannikawerner.bsky.social on how voters see the balance between democracy and policy outcomes.

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Do voters support democracy at all costs? Input and output legitimacy in Australia and the United Kingdom

Are voters willing to sacrifice democracy if they get everything else they want from their political leaders? Recent trends towards illiberalism in established democracies have called into question...
