Just returned from an incredible and truly stimulating #ERSA2024 in beautiful #Angra do Heroísmo, #Azores! Huge thanks to the amazing organisers, especially to Tomaz Ponce Dentinho, a force of nature, and his fantastic team for making it all happen. Can’t wait for #Athens2025!

The rise of the extremes is marching on in #Germany. Areas left behind, having witnessed long periods of decline & brain drain & repeatedly told that the future lays elsewhere, are using the ballot box as their weapon. #Landtagswahl doi.org/10.31389/lsepp… doi.org/10.1093/cjres/…

In #Thuringia & #Saxony, the extremes won. But the results are neither surprising nor an East German exception. They mirror election trends across #Europe. Voters feel left behind. Mainstream parties must offer something better—fast doi.org/10.1093/cjres/… doi.org/10.31389/lsepp…

New study on Greek #regions by Psycharis, Tselios & Pantazis in ARS (WRSA) reveals that while #EU cohesion policy aims to reduce disparities, it often widens income #inequality. Time for a better targeted, inclusive & more place-based #Cohesion policy. doi.org/10.1007/s00168…

Cuando el estancamiento económico se enquista, los habitantes de regiones en declive optan por opciones políticas ancladas en el agravio. Interesante artículo de Esteban Hernández hoy en El Confidencial. doi.org/10.31389/lsepp… doi.org/10.1093/jeg/lb… elconfidencial.com/espana/2024-09…

#Trump's rise and #Germany's far-right surge are centred in economically depressed areas. Paul Krugman on the revenge of the places that don't matter and how it is shaping politics in his The New York Times newsletter doi.org/10.1093/cjres/… doi.org/10.1093/cjres/… nytimes.com/2024/09/03/opi…

The economic cost of #Brexit is large —between 5 & 10% of GDP— and near universal across all #UK regions. It is strongest in England & Scotland. Northern Ireland is the main exception.

Western democracies are reformulating their models in response to the rise of the extreme right. #Migration policies are already changing. European integration and #innovation are next in line. Read Andrea Rizzi's article in EL PAÍS. doi.org/10.1093/jeg/lb… elpais.com/internacional/…

Much research has focused on assessing the impact of #climate change, extreme weather events, and on how to achieve a zero-emissions society. However, we know far less about how the #green transition will affect our daily lives. #ClimateAdaptation doi.org/10.1093/cjres/…

Local and global interactions lead to #innovation. Proximity fosters practical #learning. Interaction at broader geographical scales bring scientific & technological #knowledge. Doloreux, Shearmur & St-Pierre in Technovation_Journal. doi.org/10.1111/grow.1… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The rise of far-right #populism in #Thuringia seems driven less by low income or #unemployment, and more by factors like population #decline, lower #education levels, historic support for right-wing #extremism, and higher turnout. Check out this insightful thread by Julius Kölzer.

The debate about the economic impact of decentralisation is misguided. It should not be about whether more or less #decentralisation is needed, but about whether the resources of subnational #governments suffice to address the responsibilities they face. doi.org/10.1177/003232…

Persistent economic stagnation in certain EU regions is fuelling #Euroscepticism. As economic polarisation & #inequality grow and opportunities shrink, #discontent rises in many parts of #Europe, posing a serious risk to the future of the #EU. doi.org/10.1080/001300…

Congratulations to my very dear friend Ron Boschma for winning the Vautrin Lud Prize - also know as the Nobel Prize of Geography. Ron - you have made incredible academic contributions, impacted policy making, and inspired several generations of researchers. The field of
