Does diaspora criticism work? In a new article at @ajpseditor.bsky.social, we find that #diasporas might have a slight advantage over complete foreigners when shaming their “homeland.” Open access in: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Polisky nationalisky migcitsky behavioursky A thread:

Excited to share my new publication in the International Journal of Press/Politics with my brilliant friends Yossi David, @noamgidron.bsky.social & @liorsheffer.bsky.social! Imagined audiences have been studied for decades - but what do we know about imagined journalists? >> shorturl.at/klovF

Populist parties have rise. Populism hasn't. In this piece @goodauth.bsky.social, I discuss new research on how populist parties succeed. It's not because populism is more popular. goodauthority.org/news/right-w...

Right-wing populist parties have risen. Populism hasn’t.goodauthority.org Populist attitudes haven't increased. But populist politicians and parties have encouraged those attitudes.

Important correction to what pundits, plenty of politicians, and, yes, some political scientists have been telling us for years about "rise of populism" (cf. Bartels on why there's no "wave"):

"the rise of populist parties depends much more on changes in voters’ priorities [..] What is changing is not voters’ attitudes, such as whether they support or oppose immigration. It is how those attitudes map onto their choice of party"—thanks @goodauth.bsky.social for discussing our work:

This is also consistent with my 2021 APSR with @uptonorwell.bsky.social and Julie Wronski. We found that preexisting animus toward marginalized groups was associated with future attraction to Trump. He didn't increase these sentiments- he attracted them. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Economic discontent, hostility to immigrants, distrust in government? Right-wing populist parties have risen. Populism hasn’t. @johnsides.bsky.social breaks down why this isn’t about a surge in populist sentiments. Read: goodauthority.org/news/right-w...

It is super tough to cut down about 40% of 482 submissions for the EPSA behavior section. But I've finished the first evaluations. Some thoughts, if you are interested:

A year ago today, Netanyahu's government was sworn into office. How did it manage to make so much damage in so little time? Three factors stand out: populism, polarization and the personalization of politics. My long-ish read on Israel's annus horribilis:

Israel’s horrible year started long before October 7www.vox.com One year into Netanyahu’s latest tenure, Israel’s state and society are truly weakened.

Now in EJPR: Can elections reduce partisan hostility? @noamgidron.bsky.social and I tracked 1,000 voters throughout the 2021 election in Israel, in which Netanyahu was temporarily ousted by a short-lived, improbable coalition whose member parties were highly hostile to each other. /1

Check out this new special issue in Electoral Studies: www.sciencedirect.com/journal/elec... It contains 7 cool articles on the nature and causes of AP - using observational and experimental data, focusing on measurement, elites and ideology, and an important theoretical piece as well.

Delighted that this article on measures of affective polarization w/ NoamGidron, Will Horne and Jim Adams is now available online in POQ 🥳 We examine the relationship between hostility towards out-parties and out-partisans across 10 countries. Our novel dataset is also available on dataverse!

Israel's democratic crisis provides us with an opportunity to explore, in real time, who supports democratic backsliding. Our new working paper (w\ Noam Gidron, Yotam Margalit and Itamar Yakir) examines this issue using original pre- and post-reform panel data. Here's what we find: osf.io/zxukm/
