I wrote a blog post about unusual election maps.
Including sample code to generate striped coalition maps and a hat tip to @wallacetim.bsky.social and his fantastic maps in The Two Americas of 2016 for the NYT (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...).

Ende letzter Woche gab es einige Einwände gegen diesen Post. Ich habe deshalb nochmals Befunde zu sozial- und wirtschaftspolitischen Einstellungen der AfD-Wählerschaft zusammengetragen. Ebenfalls habe ich zu diesem Thema Survey-Daten der GLES und des ALLBUS ausgewertet. Ein langer Thread.🧵

Overall, we identified macro-regional differences of left-behindness manifestation across Europe, shaped by historical, economic, and social factors unique to each region.

Andreas Klärner @andreasklaerner.bsky.social · Feb 18

We show that “left-behindness” varies across Europe, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. In these regions, left-behindness is closely tied to regional disadvantages, characterized by low economic prosperity, reduced social status, and higher poverty rates.

Andreas Klärner @andreasklaerner.bsky.social · Feb 18

We present a plausible conceptualisation and operationalisation of left-behind regions in European Union countries. The operationalization is relative to national standards, multidimensional, and both structural and dynamic. We analyse 918 regions across 25 countries.
