Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Ulrik Pram Gad, Senior Researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies.

Strategic timing, shaped by temporary surges in approval, has not reversed longer-term structural trends. External crises have influenced perception but have not singularly determined voter behavior.
