🤩 Party positions in the 2024 European Parliament 🇪🇺!
I merged the CHES expert survey with EP composition data to visualize the political space of the current EP. The graphs make the center of gravity in the EP quite clear, on multiple dimensions and policy issues.

Importantly, however, there is a convergence on a deregulatory agenda, not least as France seeks to boost its AI hopeful Mistral.

Today, the European Commission unveils its "digital omnibus" proposal including deregulatory measures regarding AI, data protection etc.

We talk so much about the rise of the far right -- it's time to look at how that is translating into policy change. That's what I did in this insight, focusing on climate policy and the green agenda 👇
The #farright has often voted with the majority on #climate. This, however, does not mean that it voted in favour of climate-friendly policies – rather the opposite.

Important new report.

This also holds for immigration, which is why a strategy to fight only far-right PARTIES, rather than more broadly far-right POLICIES (irrespective of who advances them), is addressing only part of the problem.
The main finding is that the increased far right presence in the EP is starting to impact policy. But it's happening primarily through influencing the mainstream, that is, the EPP. For more, read the paper here: www.cer.eu/insights/far...
The far right’s impact on the EU’s climate agenda
The far right is stronger than ever in the European Parliament. And climate policy has become a testing ground for its influence.

New in CEP: Marius Guderjan & Mario Kölling explore how crises reshape EU, national, & local relations. As they write, “Crises may highlight the need to integrate levels of government, but also cause a cultural spillback toward national control.”

We recently published a study on far-right & progressive parties in Poland, exploring civic engagement through a supply/demand lens.

Question: In your view, what role does civic engagement (or lack thereof) play in shaping the rise of both far-right & progressive parties in Europe today?

New in Contemporary European Politics: Dittel & Weber show how border towns in the SaarLorLux region act as “living labs of European integration” but call for more local autonomy to make it real.

“The lab has to be alive.”
