The 2024 section convenors, Alexander Geisler and Lala Muradova chose this year's winner based on the criteria of novelty and quality of research, career stage, and alignment with the section's theme From Ideas to Action: Democratic Innovations Confronting Contemporary Challenges.
We are delighted to announce that Emilien Paulis (University of Luxemburg), Take Sipma (Tillburg University) and David Talukder (Université de Namur) are the recipients of the 2024 Best Paper Award with their contribution ”If they don’t do the job, we’ll do it! Regional Economic Deprivation and Public Support for Democratic Innovations in Europe”.
This article presents a thoughtful and innovative investigation into how regional economic deprivation influences public support for democratic innovations (DIs) across Europe. It combines multilevel analysis with an extensive dataset, offering a nuanced understanding of the intersection between individual political attitudes and structural contexts. We believe this research provides a pioneering perspective on the geographical underpinnings of public support for democratic innovations. The clarity of analysis and the implications drawn make it a significant contribution to discussions about what drives public approval of several types of DIs and has direct implications for policy making that aims to enhance citizen participation in governance. In summary, the paper stands out as an important contribution to the field, offering both theoretical originality and empirical rigor.
Our biggest congratulations!
