In a new piece in @IGA_journal, we (@andduer, Gemma Mateo, @gabi_spilker, and I) investigate how PTA design affects interest groups’ support for PTAs. A survey-embedded conjoint experiment with more than 600 groups provides important insights—a #thread. doi.org/10.1057/s41309…

How are parties’ ideological positions and levels of populism connected? @michaelj505, @christinajuen and I propose an integrated framework to study populism in the two-dimensional policy space. This piece is forthcoming in @EJPRjournal: ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@andduer Here are the links to the articles forming the basis of the blog post: Spinning a global web of EU external relations (@jepp_journal 2022) 👉 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Joint bodies in the European Union's international agreements (@EUP_TheJournal 2021) 👉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Blog post by @MarkusGastinger and myself on our research on what we call "joint bodies" (JBs). JBs are set up by the parties of an international agreement to facilitate its implementation. Despite their ubiquity, they are often overlooked by IR research blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/202…

Blog post on @LSEEuroppblog w/ @andduer on joint bodies in EU agreements prepared during my @MSCActions Fellowship. Here are the article links: 👉 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 👉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… You can also check my homepage for future updates: 👉 markus-gastinger.eu/joint-bodies/

Last year, the EU imposed a fine of €1 mill. per day on Poland for problems with judicial independence. Are Polish people aware of these sanctions? Do they support the enforcement actions against their own country? Read our blogpost @fgga to find out cutt.ly/UVOEzpG!

Finally, a few shout outs as tokens of appreciation to colleagues (on Twitter!) helping along the way: @DreherAxel @KDingwerth @andduer @manfredelsig @TimonForster @Robert_A_Huber @ajetsch @CKreuderSonnen @ronpatz @t_sommerer @JonasTallberg. Thanks @PLUS_1622 for OA funding 🧵END

Finally, we show that DIMI is useful for future studies by taking a first stab at explaining this variation. We find that power asymmetry (big states like flexibility) and delegation (states want to empower agents through broad mandates) are good predictors for this variation. /7

🚨Publication Alert🚨 New article out in RIO (@The_PEIO) with Henning Schmidtke on the #precision of the founding treaties of #IOs (and international agreements, more broadly). Really thrilled to finally see this in published form. A short 🧵 Direct link: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
