Ever wondered why Flanders and Wallonia vote so differently? 🇧🇪🗳️
In my second PhD chapter – out now in @EPSRjournal – we look at cleavage structures in both regions
Very (!) happy to see this published: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

While the far-right surges in Flanders, a nativist party has so far remained absent in Wallonia 🇧🇪
I argue why this is the case, in @LSEEuroppblog

Bernard Manin, a great thinker who helped us understand liberalism, representation and representative democracy, passed away on Thursday. His best-known work is 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. His last book was on Montesquieu.
Boeiend en belangrijk stuk over de ontluikende VB-zuil van @barteeckhout, met enkele conclusies uit ons recentste onderzoek👇

First, Francophones are more left-wing, and less divided on welfare related matters.
Second, working-class voters have remained close to the social-democratic PS, but moved to the radical right VB in Flanders. We contribute this to higher class consciousness in Wallonia.

This took me a whole PhD year and 11 re-writes (🫠), so I’m excited to see the paper published.
Big thanks to supervisors @SwyngedouwM, @CecilMeeusen and Koen Abts, and to @AlbStefanelli, Cristiano Vezzoni and my @FSW_KULEUVEN-colleagues for all the feedback!

We’re organising a PhD course on Multiple correspondence analysis in Oslo in January, 13-16. Taught by @JohsHj @maren_toft and yours truly. Will officially be announced in a month, but now you know. Spread the word and keep watching this space for more info!
Een hogere turnout heeft niet per se een opkomstplicht nodig

Heel wat media maken de verkeerde analyse: de Vlaming is helemaal niet minder geneigd te gaan stemmen dan vroeger
De turnout van gisteren lag al decennialang onder de opkomstplicht te sluimeren 👇 #kies24
Met een opkomstcijfer van 63,6% blijft Vlaanderen een koploper voor lokale verkiezingen in Europa 👇 #kies24
