Kindt's Ph.D. defense will take place on 1 April at Radboud University.

CEPRThe structural transformation of the public space: High street changes and populismIndependent shops and services lining high streets across the UK serve more than a commercial function. This column studies how different types of commercial spaces – from garages and convenience stores to pubs and bookshops – affected the electoral fortunes of the UK Independent Party from 2011 to 2019. The findings suggest that a decrease in independent consumer outlets yielded an increase in UKIP’s vote share for that postcode, while ‘branded’ consumer outlets had no such effect. The corresponding loss of social capital in communities where these venues disappear is a plausible mechanism behind these results

America’s Fourth Great Constitutional Rupture?

Will President Trump’s challenge to the existing #constitutional order degenerate into Caesarism?

Caesarism identifies and describes an #authoritarian, #populist, and autocratic ideology inspired by Julius Caesar, the leader of Rome, from 49 BC to 44 BC.

A constitutional #Caesarism is a contradiction in terms. A view from a historian.

Je me souviens @ManyRoads@mstdn.social

@TheJen You understand, of course, that Fascists don't recognize non-violence as anything serious. By their definition, there are NO protests worth worrying about. Non-violent protest exists only to support the #Fascist #Populist agenda.
