New paper with @ElenaLeuschner is out @cps_journal on how state concessions affect protest dynamics in #authoritarian regimes. We find that concessions often do not lead to demobilization and provide arguments for why this is the case. Paper is OA: doi.org/10.1177/001041402311… (1/2)

@S_Hellmeier hat sich für @FESonline die Daten der @Wahlleitung_de angeschaut und hinsichtlich Hochburgen, Herzkammern und knappen Wahlkreisen angeschaut - daraus hat sich dann dank @LoewNic und Annika Arnold eine spannende interaktive Karte entwickelt. Have a Look!👀
Wo liegen die Herzkammern, Hochburgen und knappen Wahlkreise der #Parteien in #Deutschland ? 🇩🇪
Unsere interaktiven Karten zu den Ergebnissen der Bundestagswahlen seit 1990 geben Antworten.
