  • CJEU judgments in the news – capturing the public salience of decisions of the EU’s highest court
    Item type: Journal Article
    Dederke, Julian (2022)
    Journal of European Public Policy
    Case salience data are prominent in the US judicial politics literature. By contrast, such data is not available for most other courts. With the continued judicialization of politics in the EU and the CJEU's growing importance, court decisions could increasingly receive public attention. Inspired by US case salience data this paper provides insight into new data on newspaper coverage of 4357 CJEU decisions in eight EU broadsheets. Asking under which conditions newspapers report on judicial decisions, the article links theoretical expectations about the public salience of court decisions with empirical data on CJEU case salience. Multi-level regression models show that the salience of CJEU decisions varies depending on the standing of courts in national political systems, case characteristics, inter-institutional conflict, and the Court's public relations activities. These findings have implications for the perception and communication of the CJEU and provide initial insights into media attention for hundreds of CJEU cases.

  • Regional involvement in EU trade policy: what remains after politicization?
    Item type: Journal Article
    Broschek, Jörg; Freudlsperger, Christian (2024)
    Journal of European Public Policy
    Wallonia demonstrated the importance of regional actors for EU trade policy. What remains, however, of regional involvement when politicization subsides, as after CETA and TTIP? Our paper provides a framework that allows a prediction of involvement after politicization. It posits that the interaction of three factors is decisive: politicization (short-term), preferences (medium-term), institutions (long-term). The more regional actors dispose of institutionalised channels of voice and the more they develop endogenous preferences, the less impact for politicization. We demonstrate this interplay in the cases of Austria, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Italy. Whereas regional involvement in Spain and Italy is driven near-exclusively by politicization, the German and Austrian Lander will remain cooperatively involved even in its absence. The Belgian regions, in turn, are in a process of gradual institutionalization. Our study demonstrates that regional actors remain a force to be reckoned with in EU trade policy, but some more so than others.

  • The activation of nationalist attitudes: how voters respond to far-right parties’ campaigns
    Item type: Journal Article
    Malet, Giorgio (2025)
    Journal of European Public Policy
    The rise of far-right parties represents one of the main challenges for European democracies. Previous research has shed light both on their electoral strategies, and on the nationalist attitudes of their electorates. Yet, the causal mechanism by which far-right party discourse activates voters’ preferences is still unclear. This paper revisits the literature on campaign effects in the context of challenger party entry, and argues that the activation of attitudes on ‘wedge issues’, such as immigration and European integration, is the outcome of a process of learning and partisan updating. The empirical analyses focus on the electoral breakthrough of far-right parties in Britain and Germany, and rely on three-wave panel surveys to address reverse causation. Results show that voters update their vote intentions in light of their Eurosceptic and xenophobic attitudes only when they learn the policy positions of the far-right party vis-à-vis the other parties. These findings shed light on the nature of far-right party support, set a scope condition for research on priming and persuasion in election campaigns, and contribute to normative debates about the functioning of electoral democracy.
