Social media partisans vs. party members: political affiliation in a digital age Recently political parties have diversified their affiliation options, including by developing social media followings, but so far there is little evidence about who is exploiting these new options...

New paper out @wepsocial.bsky.social with @karinakosped.bsky.social &S. Scarrow

»Das Wagnis der Öffentlichkeit«, ein Buch von Ole Meinefeld - Campus Verlag Ole Meinefeld: »Das Wagnis der Öffentlichkeit« - Politische Stile bei Hannah Arendt

Große Freude!
Heute erscheint mein Buch über Politikstile bei Hannah #Arendt im Campus Verlag.

Worum geht’s?
Eine lebendige Demokratie braucht Personen, die das „Wagnis der Öffentlichkeit“ eingehen – aber mit welchen Erwartungen gehen wir an personalisierte Politik heran?

The Netherlands will join an increasingly long list of West European countries (CH, FR, IT, SE) where the radical right has overtaken the mainstream right as the main party of the right. A watershed moment for liberal democracies.
