Racial and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in politics. In this new article in @BJPolS, Kåre Vernby, @NazitaLajevardi and I investigate one potential cause: expected discrimination. We find that minorities in both the US and Sweden expect to feel less welcome in politics.

Climate change particularly important to Swedes in EU elections. @moamsson on the outlook for this summer’s EU elections. uu.se/en/news/2024/2…

Our new @WEPsocial article unveils that oppositional behavior in EU affairs is driven by two parallel dynamics: the distance between a party and elite actors on the EU dimension, as well as the distance between a party and voters & supporters on the classic left-right dimension.

In our new @JCMS_EU's article @moamsson, @Thomas_Persson_ & I examine whether oppositional behavior in #EU affairs is gendered. We find female MPs match opposition levels of male MPs, except in government parties where the gender gap widens. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Ingen regeringsföreträdare har klivit fram och förklarat varför beslutet om att strypa anslaget till utvecklingsforskning har tagits under pågående ansökningsperiod. Obegripligt illa hanterat, såväl själva processen som kommunikationen av och om beslutet. dn.se/sverige/regeri…

Great to see @jepp_journal promote my latest article (co-authored with @Thomas_Persson_ @CKarlsson_UU, and @moamsson) in which we argue that both institutional factors and party characteristics drive parliamentary opposition to the EU on their blog: jepp-online.com/2023/02/driver…

Great to see our new book in print. Many thanks to my hardworking co-editors and to our brilliant chapter authors.

Happy to see this paper out in @jepp_journal: Greater institutional reciprocity in national social protection systems is associated with lower opposition to EU labour immigration among economically vulnerable groups @moamsson @MarcusOsterman @MPC_EUI tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

How do institutional factors and party characteristics shape parliamentary opposition in EU politics? In a new paper by @CKarlsson_UU @FelixLehmann97 @moamsson and myself we use data from five countries to explore this. Now on early view in @jepp_journal tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

My department @UU_PoliSci just published a denunciation of the Iranian regime's violence & oppression against the student protests in Iran. We demand that security forces leave the universities & release all arrested students immediately. See our website: statsvet.uu.se.

In this new article, @Thomas_Persson_, @moamsson⁩ & I find that while MPs in all legislatures express more opposition in the plenary than the committee, the propensity for oppositional behavior is more pronounced in “debating” than “working” parliaments. doi.org/10.1093/pa/gsa…

Speaking of opposition. In a new #ParliamentaryAffairs piece ⁦⁦@CKarlsson_UU⁩ , ⁦@moamsson⁩ and I compare plenary and committee behaviour in five national parliaments, including ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ ⁦⁦and ⁦@Bundestag⁩ 👇 academic.oup.com/pa/advance-art…
