Happy book publication day—thrilled that our HANDBOOK OF COMPARATIVE POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS is now officially published!
It features 31 chapters authored by 50+ leading authorities. We hope that it will contribute to the (re-)emergent study of institutions, a founding pillar of polisky econsky

To celebrate the publication of our HANDBOOK OF COMPARATIVE POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS and our awesome contributors, I’m kicking off a pre-holiday challenge: every day, I’ll share a short intro to one of its chapters.
This is also an opportunity to connect with new colleagues, so please feel free to 📌!

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

Many in Switzerland felt… embarrassed as business leaders showed up at the Oval Office with gold bars and Rolex watches. Days later, another Swiss (Infantino) handing Trump a peace prize, with a laudatio people now hope they misheard

Why do so many people choose self-checkout at the grocery store, even when the lines are longer than the regular cashiers’? Valerie Trapp looks at a strange quirk of human behavior:
The Perplexing Dominance of Self-Checkout

Signs of an emerging „class war“ (😅) in direct-democratic Switzerland: as the federal parliament considers cutting subsidies for a night train to Malmö as part of an austerity package, opponents are now threatening a popular initiative to abolish first-class train cars instead
Per Volksinitiative: Nachtzugfans drohen mit Abschaffung der 1. Klasse, wenn der Malmö-Zug gestrichen wird.
Nachtzug-Fans drohen mit Initiative zur Abschaffung der 1. Klasse
Der Streit um das Budget für den Nachtzug zwischen Basel und Malmö heizt sich auf: Die Befürworter drohen nun mit einer Initiative zur Abschaffung der 1. Klasse, sollte das Budget für den Nachtzug nicht gesprochen werden.

In Switzerland, around 16k people with disabilities who are under full guardianship remain disenfranchised nation-wide, a clear violation of the UN Convention.
At the cantonal level, Geneva’s voters approved re-enfranchising these citizens in 2020. Today, voters in Vaud went firmly the other way

In 2021, the youth wing of the Swiss Social Democrats pushed an initiative to tax capital income 1.5× than labour income. Today, we voted on their prop of an inheritance tax.
The voting patterns look almost identical.
