🥁 New paper in BJPS @bjpols.bsky.social 🥁

While there has been a lot of great research on how technological change shapes social policy preferences, I argue with Patrick Emmenegger and @ndurazzi.bsky.social that this literature is missing an important link: the role of skills, notably dual VET.

Public opinion trade-offs between economic growth, ecological sustainability, and equity | European Journal of Political Research | Cambridge Core What kind of energy transition? Public opinion trade-offs between economic growth, ecological sustainability, and equity

Marcello Natili, Alessandro Pellegata of @ecprpovb.bsky.social

Our @jeppjournal.bsky.social special issue is now in print.
A great collaborative effort on public opinion in welfare states—many thanks to everyone involved.

Mozzana e Polizzi ricostruiscono l’emergere del welfare di #comunità e ne analizzano ambivalenze, potenzialità e rischi. Una guida alla lettura del focus, che illustra come questo paradigma stia ridefinendo governance, pratiche professionali e diritti sociali.

The Real Digital Revolution At Work: Why Platformisation Matters More Than Robots The digital transformation of work isn't destroying jobs through automation—it's fundamentally reshaping how work is organised, managed and controlled.

Early policy action doesn’t depend on mass automation 🤖

"The implications for policy would be profoundly different—requiring us to focus less on job numbers and more on ensuring that technological change enhances rather than diminishes the quality of working life."

“Addio #welfare all’italiana? Mutamento e resistenze tra investimento e protezione sociale”
Plenaria molto partecipata: grazie a tutte e tutti! 🙌
📸 Qualche momento dalla sessione ⬇️

"In the short term, questions of politics and polity will be more important to protect liberal democracy from the far right. But economic and social policies will play an important role in shaping the conditions for far-right party support in the long run." 👇

📊 @mhaslberger.bsky.social, Jane Gingrich, and Jasmine Bhatia explore how exposure to AI shapes social policy preferences in a UK survey experiment.

💡 Their key finding: when faced with AI, people want support, not just protection
