Bonus will be a full day Workshop on The Political Psychology of Party Credibility, that I am co-organizing with Maurits Meijers on Sunday in Cologne!

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 👇

Democracies face rising autocratic threats. The framework by Joep van Lit Carolien van Ham Maurits Meijers and case studies of Senegal 🇸🇳 and Poland 🇵🇱 highlight how institutional elites and citizens defend against these trends. #Democracy #Autocratization doi.org/10.1080/135103…
