❓ How do dissatisfied citizens experience a participatory process❓
In this article in @PolStudies based on 35 interviews, I find that highly populist citizens pay special attention to whether authorities take citizens and their decisions seriously. 1/4🧵journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Happy to announce that I have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for my project titled "Deception in Democracy: Political Lying Accusations and Their Effects on Democratic Citizenship"
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped making this happen!
Today is day 2 of the great workshop organized by @L_deJonge and @MatthiasDilling, asking how we can respond to voters’ grievances!
I present a paper with Tsveta Petrova and Natasha Wunsch, asking which types of voters are most likely to accept democratic transgressions.
Vandaag verschijnt het rapport van het Nederlands KiezersOnderzoek over de #verkiezingen van 2023 #TK2023.
'Van Onderstroom naar Doorbraak'
In hoofdstuk 13 ga ik in op de opvattingen over #democratie van Nederlandse kiezers.
👇
Met 43.830 democratie dilemma's laat ik zien dat de Nederlandse kiezer democratie ziet als een systeem van #tegenmacht en vrije verkiezingen, terwijl er minder nadruk ligt op directe democratie.
(Items met hogere scores zijn belangrijker, met betrouwbaarheidsintervallen)
Het hele rapport, onder redactie van Remko Voogd, @KristofJacobs1, Marcel Lubbers, en @NielsSpierings kun je hier (dpes.nl/publicaties/) lezen!

Democracies face rising autocratic threats. The framework by @jmvanlit @CarolienvanHam @MauritsMeijers and case studies of Senegal 🇸🇳 and Poland 🇵🇱 highlight how institutional elites and citizens defend against these trends. #Democracy #Autocratization doi.org/10.1080/13510347.202…
On the train to #EPSA2024, where I am excited to (co)present three papers! 😄
1⃣ Citizen tolerance for democratic transgressions
2⃣ Autocratic counterfactuals and sustaining democracy
3⃣ Deconstructing understandings of democracy in the Dutch context
👇
2⃣
Second, as part of my PhD dissertation, I have created "Autocratic Counterfactuals" to study which (if any) institutional set-ups can stop #autocratization and sustain democracy.
⏰ Thursday, 11am, MP5-Rome
3⃣
Using original data and data from the Dutch Parliamentary Election Study (for the 2023 national elections), I deconstruct Dutch 🇳🇱 citizens' understandings of #democracy.
⏰ Thursday, 1pm, MP6-5
And that’s a wrap of the workshop organized by @CEDAR_Bham!
A unique opportunity to present our work (doi.org/10.1080/13510347.202…) on democratic resilience, not just with academics but with practitioners and policymakers!
Thanks for organizing @Fromagehomme and @Manoel_Gehrke!

Our final day of debating excellent papers on warning signs and false alarms of democratic backsliding @ECPR @jmvanlit @EHernandezPe @th_ges @seskaaning @Suthan_1607 ecpr.eu/Events/Event/Worksho…
We are two days into the @ECPR #ecprjs24 workshop on The Early Alarms of Democratic #Backsliding ⏰
Here is a quick walk down of what we have learned so far in beautiful Lüneburg.
However, we shouldn't be too alarmist, a topic we will discuss in more depth tomorrow with @th_ges, @sergsagara , @seskaaning and myself.
Optimistically, democracies are often #resilient, but the question remains if false alarms are a necessary evil or frustrating distraction...
So far the discussions have been great, with critical comments and in-depth questions! Very cool to have this group of scholars together in the workshop co-organized with @HMazepus and @EHernandezPe!
