It is amazing how different countries manage their elections differently while still facing similar challenges. On our conference on electoral management we brought together a wide variety of different perspectives: Practitioners, Academics from different disciplines and different countries.

Taming tyranny? Happy to see my study on opposition rights in non-democratic regimes published. 😊 In short, it explores the constitutional architecture of opposition rights in electoral autocracies as well as the reasons for and consequences of legal empowerment. 👉 shorturl.at/8Of0D

Happy to see @ankuepfer.bsky.social's & my study on when politicians engage in discourse — and when they prefer to avoid it — featured at @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social!

blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...
When do politicians engage in discourse – and when do they avoid it?
Ideological polarisation shapes who debates whom in the German Bundestag, but substantive discourse may become less common in the years ahead.

Steht Julia Klöckner zu Recht in der Kritik? Ein paar Gedanken dazu konnte ich zu diesem Artikel beisteuern. t1p.de/637a8 Klar ist, es braucht eine gleichermaßen robuste wie unparteiische Amtsführung, um aufgeheizte Debatten zu leiten, ohne den parlamentarischen Meinungsstreit einzuschränken.
"Ihr höchstes Gut ist ihre Reputation": So neutral ist die Bundestagspräsidentin
Keine Regenbogenflagge, dafür immer wieder Ordnungsrufe: Die CDU-Politikerin polarisiert, die Kritik an Klöckners Amtsführung reißt nicht ab. Zu Recht?
