This is my first published academic text in German, and I am truly grateful for the fantastic editing by the Neue Politische Literatur-team!

Now that Twitter has become close to unbearable, I will probably continue to share my work here. Just in case I flake on that commitment again, I’ve also created a small portfolio website for those interested in my projects. Check it out here: www.denniskoelling.com.

I would love to give more praise than the word limit would ever allow, but I saved that for four pages of acknowledgments. In short, I am genuinely thankful to everyone who supported me in this venture and who contributed to the dissertation in one way or another. 🙏
