Democracy and Populism: Testing a Contentious Relationship
- 2019
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The phenomenon of populism and its relationship with modern democracy has gained considerable attention in recent years. This paper aims at advancing our understanding of how populism affects different models of democracy and tests the proposed arguments empirically. Building on the large scholarly literature on populism and democracy, we take stock of existing arguments and theorize which democratic models may be affected by populism in a positive or a negative way. Moreover, we move beyond the normative debate and analyse the effect of populism in power on different models of democracy empirically. We do so by merging data on populist governments in Europe and Latin America from the 1995 until today with the Varieties of Democracy data set, which enables us to capture the relationship between populism and different democratic models in these regions.

Manichaean Manipulation – Europe between Apocalypse and Redemption in the Imaginary of the New Right
- 2019
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- An eternal fight between Good and Evil fuels the imaginaries of the European Radical Right (ERR) in a psychology of continuous panic-mongering. Is Europe the bulwark and pinnacle of Western civilization, the safe haven of Christianity, tradition and family values or has it turned into a dystopian oppressive dictatorship of ‘globalist’ Eurocracy? The imminent end of European civilization as we know it has received many names in the ERR such as the ‘breaking point’ in UKIP-rhetoric, ‘systemkollaps’ in Swedish (the ‘breakdown of the system’) or ‘Asylflut’ in German (the ‘refugee deluge’ – a biblical trope of scourge).

Bureaucratic Structures and Organizational Commitment of Senior Public Officials: Evidence from a Cross-National Study of 20 European Countries
- 2018
-
In: The 22nd Annual IRSPM Conference. Edinburgh, Scotland: 11-13 April 2018. - Gothenburg : The Quality of Government.
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In recent years there has been growing scholarly interest in the effects of bureaucratic structures on corruption, socioeconomic development, government effectiveness, policy implementation, and support for democracy. However, very few attention has been paid to a link between bureaucratic structures and civil servants’ work morale, especially organizational commitment. Do public sector managers in closed civil service systems show more commitment to the organization than those in more open bureaucracies? We argue that senior public sector managers in closed bureaucratic structures show higher levels of organizational commitment than those in more open civil service systems. However, such higher commitment mainly comes from the economic costs of leaving organization, lack of outside alternative, and perceived obligation to remain in the organization, not from their engagement in their organizational goals and values. Using two unique large comparative data sets on public bureaucracies and public managers—the COCOPS Top Executive Survey (Hammerschmid 2015) and the QoG (Quality of Government) Expert Survey (Dahlström et al. 2015)—we find support for hypothesis.

The Great March of Return facing the Israeli settler colonial control : The Great March of Return facing the Israeli settler colonial control
- 2018
-
In: School of Blogal Studies: Making sense of the world..
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Between the 30th of March and the 15th of May, more than one hundred #Palestinians were killed and ten thousands were wounded in the mass #protests along the barriers between the Gaza Strip and #Israel. The protesters called for the Palestinians’ right of return to their homes and lands from which they were expelled in 1948. Despite escalating protests, the USA and Israel celebrated the relocation of the US #embassy from Tel Aviv to #Jerusalem on a high-pitch tone. The simultaneity of these events became bizarre, if not hawkish. How can we understand these events?
