🚀Thrilled to see my new article on EU copyright politics published in @jepp_journal! Social media self-regulation is increasignly contested. I show how the techlash affects lobbying competition and the coalition politics of online content regulation. 👉doi.org/10.1080/135017…

📘 Vol 63.4 💭 How does fairness affect our support of EU policies? @maxheermann @DirkLeuffen & @julianschuess use differentiated integration to experimentally dissect normative & utility-oriented considerations in the evaluation of #EU policies 🇪🇺 bit.ly/4cF8UMO #OA

🚀Thrilled to announce that my first co-authored piece with the amazing @maxheermann is out now in @SPSR_RSSP!📄 Curious how sovereignty concerns shape legislative choices? Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sp… #EUPolitics #LegislativeBehavior #EuropeanParliament

New publication! Robert Kaufman, @b_kolcak, & I have a new article out in @PoPpublicsphere: "Federalism and Democratic Backsliding in Comparative Perspective". See the abstract below, and quick 🧵 which follows cambridge.org/core/journals/…

📢New article by @fravisc0 and me out in @JCMS_EU investigating how citizen preferences for #eusolidarity relates with their positions on left-right, #euintegration, economic redistribution and immigration across ten EU countries

Guilty as charged. #epsa2024

The EU's regional funds are one of the biggest spending items of the EU and a key sticking point in the next budget negotiations. In a new paper, @valentin_lang, @DanBischof and I use new data to see who benefits from them. And we show they need fundamental reforms. Here's why:

“The new power centre will not so much be the far right, be it ECR or ID, but the far right of the EPP, which will leverage the threat of a rightwing majority to push its traditional coalition partners further to the right.” @casmudde theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

More dereliction of duties by the @EU_Commission - which - as @Tom_Pavone and I show - has dramatically retreated from its role as Guardian of the Treaties politico.eu/article/curiou…

It's been a pleasure to be part of this @jepp_journal special issue edited by @GerdaFalkner, @AObendiek, @Timo_Seidl & Sebastian Heidebrecht on the discourse and policies of European digital sovereignty. Great to see all articles published! 👇

Together with @anoury8118 & @iep_bu, we have launched a new website, showing the roll-call votes in @Europarl_EN by MEP, group, and country, going back to 2004 (inspired by @VoteWatchEurope). You can download the data for free! Please spread the word epvm.iep.unibocconi.eu

How to find the needle in the haystack?📌📚 In my recent publication in @EPSJournal I discuss the enormous potential and methodological foundations of archival research for political science. Available open access: rdcu.be/dIlRz DOI 10.1057/s41304-024-00488-3

The book and our chapter was inspired by the @EU3Dh2020 project and includes many more interesting chapters from great colleagues: 👉doi.org/10.4324/978100… Thanks to editors Jozef Bátora & @JohnErikFossum! @Konstanz_Pol_PA

📚Edited volumes always take some time, but it is great to hold the print book in your hands! In our chapter, @DirkLeuffen and I theorise why European citizens should care about democratic backsliding in other EU countries and what it might mean for EU solidarity.

@martinmoland @EUP_TheJournal @LdeBlok @julianschuess @DirkLeuffen Thanks Martin! Our DI survey was indeed a nice success. 😊

@maxheermann @EUP_TheJournal @LdeBlok @julianschuess @DirkLeuffen Impressively productive time for you DI-wise, Max. Congrats to all authors on a great publication!

Under what conditions do citizens perceive differentiated EU integration as fair? 🗞️In our new @EUP_TheJournal letter, @LdeBlok, @julianschuess, @DirkLeuffen, C. DeVries & I examine the role of institutional design for public support of differentiation: doi.org/10.1177/146511…

@garritzmannj @Gov_Journal @ksiderius Congrats, @ksiderius & Julian! This looks cool! Question of curiosity (based solely on your thread): Is the Ministry of Justice a law & order type? On civil rights issues, it is often an opponent of the Ministry of Home Affairs, isn't it?

New paper out in @Gov_Journal: @ksiderius & I analyze the role & distributive impact of individual ministers in policy-making. We show: Controlling for a range of alterantive explanations, which ministry drafts a bill has substantive implications (for inequality). (Thread)
