New publication @wepsocial.bsky.social w/ Timothy Hellwig and Lawrence Ezrow!

We argue and show that non-centrist/extreme governments prioritize their core supporters over the median voter when making policy.

However, this strategy is likely to backfire at the next election.

Now out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. In our new article, @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that where local rent prices increase more, residents with lower incomes become more likely to support the radical right AfD.

Economic crises tend to help the right because voters assign greater importance to issues owned by the right. When center-right parties preside over a crisis, voters often drift further rightward to nationalist parties rather than defect to the left

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

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

But newly released survey data shows that this is not the case.

Most of growth in far right support came from previous abstentionists, followed by previous center-right voters.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials
