My interest is eminently academic @jimkennedy. Rescaling is a fact, whatever the outcome might be now after Sanchez, Puigdemont, and Aragones, seems to be looking for a common ground, what was highly unlikely in 2017. Time matters also in #politics. @politicalscience@politicaltheory
@jimkennedy@politicalscience@politicaltheory My take is that the current momentum is extremely relevant having people with different view around a table, far from the simplistic 155 article and Rajoy's marsimonious inactivity by sending police to crash, both “illegal” and “constitutive referendum”. Words matter: illegal officially but it showed a will.
In his Presidential Address to the Federal Assembly this February, Putin referred to Stolypin as "a patriot and a proponent of a strong Russian state" and cited him to the effect that the State Duma should be patriotic, i.e. should subordinate itself.
Citing Stolypin: “In the cause of defending Russia, all of us must unite and coordinate our efforts, our commitements and our rights for supporting one historical supreme right – the right of Russia to be strong.” No political opposition permitted
Favoured by Putin himself, Stolypin got his statue in Moscow already in 2012 (though the statue was not placed on Lubyanka square to fill the empty spot where the toppled Dzerzhinsky used to stand, as Nikita Mikhalkov had proposed as early as 2001 - as I outline in the chapter linked below).
Kennt jemand empfehlenswerte Artikel oder Studien dazu, wie die thüringische Minderheitsregierung in der Praxis funktioniert - also abseits von Skandalen? Fänd' ich interessant. Mal @soziologie oder @politicalscience fragen ...
Coming up this fall on #NewBooksNetwork#PoliSci: I am looking forward to podcast episodes with these brilliant authors about their exciting new books! 🎙️📚
#REGROUP launched #PanDDemiC: A knowledge portal on the socio-political and institutional aspects of Covid-19! 🎉
There's lots of data and information available online on #pandemicpolitics. Our portal is a hub to numerous resources that collect data, documents, and information - all in 1 place. ✔
A great panel on "Autocracy and Authoritarianism" and Day 4 at #ecprgc23 is in the books. Glad that I could contribute by presenting some of my work on a three-dimensional conceptualization of Autocratization and its analytical application as well.
I really enjoyed the whole week by now. And definetly, I'm heading home with some very helpful suggestions and a lot of food for thought in my backpack 😊
Curious about what my research tells us about the challenge to transform our societies to climate neutrality and sustainability? Have a listen to this podcast episode from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland…! https://www.seai.ie/podcast/
