Pleased that this article is now in @cpsjournal.bsky.social with a volume number as well. Find it below if you want to see how politicians exploit foreign revolutions in the search for voters, or want to know how Denmark responded to communist revolutions of the 1910s

New paper out in @risjnl.bsky.social! 🚨

I explore the everyday foundations of structural power in the international system and advance a new theoretical framework that reconceptualizes the state as a mediator between the two levels.

Time for a short thread! 🧵👇

Dagens historiske indspark fra en konservativ i 1938 på Folketingets talerstol: Lad Franco vinde så der kan komme ordnede forhold. Jaså.

... ideational momentum to keep their issues and positions from being seen as lacking credibility and legitimacy. This shows how events that do not have huge political consequences on a country can still have a substantial ideational impact in this country. Link (open access): tinyurl.com/3sbrhy8x

We also show that both liberal and socialist parties seemingly move rightwards by increasing positive attention to markets. We theorize that liberal parties do so to push for increased legitimacy for their issues and positions, while the most left-wing party has to surrender to the...

Here, Martin and I show how there was a big shift towards more attention to markets in the Danish parliament right after the fall of the Berlin Wall. We also show that speeches in discourse moved closer to the most right-wing parties. This we see as how the event created an ideational momentum.

Did the fall of the Berlin Wall speed up the entry of neoliberalism into Danish politics? And what can we learn from this event on how politicians use foreign events to reshape national discourses? Happy to see this article out in @jeppjournal.bsky.social together with Martin B. Carstensen. (1/4)

Just a quick corrigendum: the article was written by
@nbuhmann-holmes.bsky.social AND Martin Bæk Carstensen 😊

Do events abroad reshape national discourse? 🌍

@nbuhmann-holmes.bsky.social study Danish parliamentary debates before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall 🧱

Peter Navarro, the man behind the Trump tariff thinking, has more than 5000 Google Scholar citations. His yearly citations have been going down for some years but perhaps he can turn the trend given recent events

Det er blevet fashionabelt at kritisere USA, og de europæiske stater bevæger sig nu hastigt væk fra et NATO-fokuseret sikkerhedssamarbejde. Nok en god idé. NATO's politikker var sjældent i europæisk sikkerheds interesse. Det skrev jeg om for nogle måneder siden www.eftertrykket.dk/2024/12/09/i...

The current US crisis shows the risks of allowing a president to have unchecked power. The solution is clear: above the president there should be a monarch who ultimate authority rests with

As a junior scholar, there is something great about finding typos in seminal articles of highly succesful scholars. Especially ones like this one, found in the article's conclusion. If they made it through anyway, perhaps I can as well!

(Or perhaps it isn't a typo?)

At Trump (og konen) bruger præsidentembedet til at lancere en krypto-memecoin for simpel selvberigelse er simpelthen too on the nose for den tid, vi lever i. Krypto, memes, milliardærers rentier class-styre, all in one. Sådan et symbol, som historikere kan hive frem om årtier

Looks super interesting! Just found it through the library, looking forward to reading

I hope you’ll enjoy it! (The end). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Moreover, the article also shows (in line with recent research) that social policies like unemployment support and shorter workdays got a push on the political agenda after the Russian Revolution (3/4).

For example, the rightwing Liberals tried to cast Social Democrats as Bolshevik supporters, while the Social Democrats tried to cast their policies as the best way to prevent revolution. (2/4)

Thrilled to have the first article of my PhD published in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. Focusing on Denmark in the 1910s, the article shows how democratic politicians use foreign revolutions opportunistically to attract voters. (1/4)

Regner med at opfølge denne public service-meddelelse med lidt mere om min forskning de næste måneder. Det var alt for nu.

Hej Bluesky. Hermed mit første bleep(?). Vil bare lige sige at handlet "SociologenHD", en klassiker fra Xitter, stadig er ledigt her på Bluesky. Tænker det er om at være hurtig med at få det taget.
