Second, when Euroskeptic challenger parties are electorally successful and heavily emphasise their anti-EU positions, regional dominant parties become even more pro-European in their election manifestos. Thus, they take their Euroskeptic competitors’ success and emphasis strategies seriously!
Screenshot of Figure 1 from our paper. The figure title reads: “How Euroskeptic challenger parties’ EU salience moderates the estimated effect of Euroskeptic challenger parties’ success on dominant parties’ EU position. Notes: Johnson-Neyman-Plot, based on Model 3 presented in Table 1.” The figure shows Euroskeptic challengers’ EU salience on the x-axis, and the slope of Euroskeptic challenger success on the y-axis. It shows a positive effect of Euroskeptic challenger success on dominant parties’ EU position when Euroskeptic parties devote at least 2% of their manifesto to their anti-EU positions.

After what feels like a million years, @martingross.bsky.social and I have finally published our paper “Under Pressure? How regional dominant parties shift their EU positions when challenged by Euroskeptic parties” in the Journal of European Integration!

Screenshot of the title and abstract of our paper “Under Pressure? How regional dominant parties shift their EU positions when challenged by Euroskeptic parties”. The abstract reads as follows: With Euroskeptic parties being on the rise across European Union (EU) member states, dominant parties are pressured to reconsider their positions regarding a further European integration. Yet, dominant parties’ positional reactions to Euroskeptic challenger parties are not limited to the national level but are also required at the regional level. Transferring insights regarding party competition at the national and European levels to the regional level in Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom (2008–2017), we show that regional dominant parties shift towards more positive EU positions in response to electorally successful Euroskeptic challenger parties, particularly when these challenger parties emphasised EU issues to a larger extent. These findings have important implications for our understanding of party competition in European multi-level systems in the electoral arena, for the intricacies of regional party competition in Europe, and for dominant parties’ strategies when faced with Euroskeptic challengers. The article has the following keywords associated with it: Euroskepticism, part competition, multi-level systems, dominant parties, challenger parties

(I did it! I'm done!)
A photo of me taken during my dissertation defense. I am leaning on the desk as I am having a focused conversation with my committee. Behind me, there is a presentation slide with the title "Trade-off between topic order and issue attention". On the desk in front of me, there are two water bottles and a copy of my dissertation. A photo of me laughing happily as I receive the hat that my friends have made for me. The hat contains several references to my dissertation, my research, and my hobbies. The highlights are a self-made Magic card where I appear to be a Legendary Creature called "Anna the Relentless" and an image that says "I <3 LU" with a little sticker on it: "Schön hier, aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?". I am wearing a dark purple shirt that has short sleeves and a very nerdy pattern on it, gray pants, and black suspenders. If you zoom in, you can see that my earrings are small daggers.

Get yourself a friend like @alsogwendolyn.bsky.social who keeps on gifting you sloth-themed cards to celebrate your dissertation defense!
Photo of two greeting cards. The left one shows a drawing of a sloth wearing a doctoral cap and chilling on a tree branch. The original text of the card is "Glückwunsch, Abitur geschafft!", but it has been modified to say "Promotion geschafft" instead. The card on the right shows a drawing of a sloth wearing a party hat. The original text says "Don't hurry, be happy... It's your birthday!". The word birthday has been crossed out and a hand-written "Verteidigung" (defense) has been added.
