How well are young people represented along the recruitment ladder? The pipeline problem for the Danish youth is within parties, since they are eager to stand for election and well represented at the parliamentary level. New article out in @ecpr.bsky.social's EPS. Open access: rdcu.be/eIiM1.

Open access to report on 2024 in Danish politics: Queen abdicated. EP elections returned a fragmented Danish representation in Brussels. The cross-the-aisle-majority gov saw some program realization, cf. initiatives on stronger defense, conscription for women & ‘Green Partite’ deal #polisky #dkpol

Nyt studie identificerer en specifik gruppe vælgere, der på SoMe kun følger det parti, de stemmer på. De ligner partiets vælgere mere end medlemmerne og er aktive online, men er ikke aktive i traditionelle partiaktiviteter. Potentiale for partier i forandring? #dkpol

SoMe-aktivister ligger tættere på vælgerne end partiernes medlemmer

Sociale medier tiltrækker en bredere og mere mangfoldig gruppe af politisk engagerede borgere end de traditionelle partimedlemmer. Det viser en ny undersøgelse fra Københavns Universitet.

Social media activists are more like voters than party members

Social media attracts a broader and more diverse group of politically engaged citizens than traditional party members. This is according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen.

Such a pleasure to see this paper out in WEP. I'm grateful for collaborators Susan Scarrow and @emilievh.bsky.social, a tough but productive process with the editors and reviewers of @wepsocial.bsky.social, and comments from party scholar colleagues at a couple of @ecpr.bsky.social events.

New paper out @wepsocial.bsky.social with @karinakosped.bsky.social &S. Scarrow

Based on the 🇩🇰 case we show that (1) parties’ social media following is a sizeable form of political engagement & (2) social media partisans form a distinct type of party affiliation

Social media partisans vs. party members: political affiliation in a digital age

Recently political parties have diversified their affiliation options, including by developing social media followings, but so far there is little evidence about who is exploiting these new options...

Calling all party scholars heading to Vancouver for APSA 2025 in September! Check out the call from IPSA Research Committee on Political Sociology - we look forward to your paper proposals. #polisky #partysky #politicalparties connect.apsanet.org/apsa2025/par...

“Political Parties and Democracy”
How parties organize has been the focus of seminal research in political science. However, it is only recently that the field has developed publicly available, large-scale comparative datasets, such as the Political Party Database (PPDB), that allows to compare detailed features of party organizations over time and across both parliamentary and presidential democracies. This development offers the unique opportunity to investigate the extent of party agency in regards to organizational reform. In this panel, we welcome papers that explore in comparative perspective how parties organize, and when parties develop or change strategies regarding internal organization. We also welcome papers that focus on the consequences of party-driven organizational reforms for electoral politics, representation, or public policy. We recognize the importance of, and welcomes, a diversity of approaches and scholarship from across the globe.
