Introductions
Hello everyone aand welcome to the Politics Lab! I have a PhD in comparative politics (that means I compare systems in different countries) and public management, and I've been a politics nerd for 30 years. Being a high-functioning autistic gives me the hyperfocus superpower for this kind of thing! I have a dog and a cat, and am a dad for two teenagers. And this is my workspace! Please introduce yourself and your workspace!

What are we missing?
Pick a current political event: what’s the hidden process behind it that people rarely talk about? (e.g., agenda setting, interest groups, elite bargaining, bureaucratic inertia, media incentives) → What analytical tool would help unpack it? And again - analytical tools, NOT conspiracy theories!
