Acknowledgments: I received many helpful comments, including by workshop participants at ECPR Joint Sessions, UCSD, APSA, and LMU as well as the RIO reviewers.

Thomas Winzen @twinzen.bsky.social · Nov 15

For example, in case 10, governments initially tried to avoid suspending funding, but the Commission (under EP pressure) insisted on its proposal, and governments (under national parliament pressure), sided with their parliaments rather than backsliding governments.

Thomas Winzen @twinzen.bsky.social · Nov 15

I then used news reports to identify the decisions that backsliding governments opposed the most over the last decade, and I analyzed in case studies why they succeeded or failed.

Thomas Winzen @twinzen.bsky.social · Nov 15

Results: An analysis of position-taking in hundreds of EU negotiations – based on DEU data – suggests that, indeed, backsliders adopt more opposing/Eurosceptic positions in decisions that could threaten their backsliding projects, but not in other decisions.
