Politicoloog Catherine de Vries @catherinedevries.bsky.social : "Gemeenten die moeten fuseren is ook zoiets, burgers vinden dat heel vervelend. Zulke ingrepen lijken op korte termijn erg kostenefficiënt, maar op lange termijn leidt dat tot meer populisme en radicalisme."

Viktor Orbáns val in Hongarije brengt radicaal-rechts in Europa in nieuwe fase Orbáns nederlaag in Hongarije markeert een kantelpunt in de koers van de Europese radicaal-rechtse partijen. Was eerst confrontatie hun strategie, nu lijkt beïnvloeding van binnenuit de nieuwe lijn te...

Volgens @catherinedevries.bsky.social brengt Orbans val, radicaal rechts in een nieuwe fase:

"De nadruk op nationale soevereiniteit blijft leidend, maar de middelen veranderen in een pragmatische aanpak die subtieler en mogelijk effectiever is."

‘Het verlies van Orbán betekent dus niet het einde van radicaal-rechts in Europa, maar een verschuiving in strategie. En de Iranoorlog versnelt die verschuiving.’ Catherine de Vries

Popular attitudes are often seen as a safeguard against democratic backsliding: if citizens don’t oppose lib democracy, politicians have little incentive to erode it.

In @cpsjournal.bsky.social I argue that, while intuitive, this reasoning conflates two states of the world:

New paper out in @thejop.bsky.social : "Immigration, Public Housing, and Support for the French National Front."

How does expanding public housing affect far-right support? The answer depends heavily on local conditions, and specifically on local immigrant shares.

Veiled Power: How Rosenwald Teachers Quietly Shaped
the Civil Rights Movement

Omar Wasow∗ Jacob M. Grumbach∗

April 1, 2026

Abstract
What precipitates the collapse of seemingly durable social orders like Jim Crow? During the 1920s, approximately 5,000 “Rosenwald Schools” were built across the rural South through a partnership between philanthropist Julius Rosenwald and Black communities who raised matching funds, donated land, and petitioned local governments. Local elites saw vocational training that would preserve the racial order. We argue Black educators used this accommodationist cover to build veiled capacity: organizational infrastructure for collective action behind a veil
of compliance. Counties with more Rosenwald Schools show greater civil rights protest in the 1960s. Mediation analysis reveals that pre-existing social capital predicted protest through Rosenwald teacher placements, not enrollment. Instrumental variable models suggest the effect is not driven by community selection. Moving from no Rosenwald teachers to the 75th percentile predicts 45% more protest. The political effects of education may depend less on what elites intend than on what educators build where elites cannot see.

Excited to share new paper w/ @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social: "Veiled Power: How Rosenwald Teachers Quietly Shaped the Civil Rights Movement"

The puzzle: did ~5,000 segregated schools built in rural South emphasizing “manual labor” strengthen or weaken Jim Crow? 🧵 omarwasow.com/wasow_grumba...

Fear the deficit-populism doom loop Politicians, particularly in Europe, are in a terrible bind

Takeaway for Labour and other centre-left parties: fixing public services is key to reducing support for the populist right

Fascinating thread (and paper). Raises a wider question - namely, did the Conservative Party's enthusiasm for austerity ultimately lead, every bit as much as its increasing obsession with Europe and immigration, to its being replaced by Reform UK as the pre-eminent party on the British right?

Thrilled that my paper (w/@sarahobolt.bsky.social,@catherinedevries.bsky.social,@simonecremaschi.bsky.social) was accepted at the American Political Science Review!

We find that declining public services fuel support for the populist right — and show why the right benefits more than other parties 🧵

Miscalculation of Rheinmetall CEO fails to grasp that the combination of what some might call “low” tech civilian with conventional weapons & tactics is what makes Ukraine’s fight innovative.
