It was a thrill to present our work on autocracies and science at the department seminar at Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg today. Thanks to everyone for showing up with excellent questions and a stimulating discussion. GLD QoG-Data Varieties of Democracy Institute

A few months ago, @anthlittle & @annemeng 's paper on democracy measurement and democratic backsliding caught a lot of attention: x.com/annemeng_/stat… Together with 9 colleagues from the V-Dem project, we engage with L&M’s argument and analysis in a new working paper. A🧵:

Ola Borten Moe lover "full oppussing" av akademia. Ny språkpolitikk tyder på at han vil renovere i utdatert 90-tallsstil, som tar sektoren bakover i tid. Det vil koste samfunnet. Jeg skriver i Morgenbladet om OBM's akademiske nasjonalisme. morgenbladet.no/aktuelt/kommen…

Innbyggerne mener det er mer korrupsjon i lokalpolitikken enn lokalpolitikere selv. Det kommer fram i ny tilstandsanalyse om det norske demokratiet fra statsviterne Carl Henrik Knutsen og Sirianne Dahlum. Hør lanseringen av hovedfunnene i hovedprogrammet på @arendalsuka i dag kl. 14:00.

Det norske demokratiet er velfungerende og robust. Men, det er ikke et idealdemokrati, og 100% trygge på at det står seg fremover kan vi ikke være: Idag lanserer vi Tilstandsanalysen av det norske demokratiet på Arendalsuka Sirianne Dahlum Tore Wig Elin Haugsgjerd Allern - @allernelin.bsky.social @mgsoyland @berasch1

We promised the European Research Council (ERC) to save democracy. How? Civic education! Showing simple 3-min videos on social media, promoting the virtues of democracy, has substantial effects across 33 different countries. More details here: osf.io/ue6qj 1/

🚨New working paper: Based on a conjoint experiment from 32 countries, citizens - quite uniformly - value what the typical electoral autocrat claims to provide: elected leaders & (economic) safety, while commitment to executive constraints is much weaker. osf.io/preprints/osf/…
