If you want to know why the capital of Central Europe became the city of ideas that created the modern world & what the house of Austria has to do with this I can recommend reading first Martyn Rady's "The Habsburgs" & then Richard Cockett's "Vienna" - 2 excellent & witty books.

I think the headline should be "US votes with Russia against UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine"

Financial Times @financialtimes.com · Feb 24

Breaking news: The UN General Assembly has passed a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The resolution was co-sponsored by Kyiv and EU nations, despite the US voting against it and urging other states to do so. www.ft.com/content/d0f3...

How does the “mental load” of taking care of family and household influence decisions about participating in public life?

In a new @bjpols.bsky.social paper w @annanhelgoy.bsky.social we use a survey experiment priming domestic mental load to find out.

With Macron calling an intergovernmental summit in Paris tomorrow, many wonder what is best institutional venue to discuss Europe's response to biggest security crisis since 1945. Here are 8 reasons why intergovernmental route is crucial now instead of relying on 🇪🇺 & Brussels institutions. 🧵👇 1/10

Last week, CDU and AfD coalesced in a historic moment for post-WWII German political history. @chriswratil.bsky.social, @mafaldapratas.bsky.social and I ran a survey immediately after the event to measure voters' reactions.

Christopher Wratil 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine @chriswratil.bsky.social · Feb 7

You wonder how the CDU/CSU playing with the "Brandmauer" to AfD last week has influenced German voters? @mafaldapratas.bsky.social @jmfernandes86.bsky.social & I have you covered. We surveyed sample of 2,000 German voters. 🧵with first results 👇. Spoiler: It did not go down as well as CDU/CSU hoped.

Rejecting a scholar like @chriswratil.bsky.social from any conference just has one word == ridiculous.

EPSA rejection: to all early career people who face this today, I want to say that I had two of them in the past, one of them was published in AJPS in the end, the other has not been submitted yet. Today, my third EPSA rejection. If you have it, too: hear me it means nothing! Enjoy your weekend 😇

Finally, it is sort of ironic that I am tweeting from Badia Fiesolana, where it at started back in 2009. Now it's time to thank my mentors in grad school, Peter Mair, Kaare Strøm, and Stefano Bartolini, as well special thanks to @pcmagalhaes.bsky.social and Thomas Saalfeld. They know why. /END
