Curtailing the power of the political offices of ministers can be a 'presidentialization' strategy driven by the PM. Critical junctures as periods of big power asymmetries facilitate success. By @ArthurMeert, @ThanassisGouglas, @MarleenBrans, @jepp_journal https://t.co/BNTQLEbJ43

@instituteforgov SpAdCast sounds brilliant. On this older and lengthier podcast I provide some context on the benefits and tensions that special advisers bring in the British executive triangle. https://t.co/C6bOLZIWze" / X

New government, new special advisers in town. For some context you can listen to this older one hour episode of the Modern British Political History podcast. Thanks Harry for hosting me 👇

[Athanassios Gouglas @ThanassiGouglas]

In this episode of the Modern British Political History podcast I discuss the history of special advisers with Harry White. We cover why special advisers came into being, the benefits and tensions they produce in the system, and more! @exeterpolitics https://t.co/C6bOLZIWze

I'm in Brussels at 2xbook launch & launch of CoREx. @ThanassiGouglas & Richard Shaw presented new research on ministerial advisors: are they still dark masters? @ThuridHustedt & @Tobias_Bach_1 have assembled amazing scholars studying the Core Executive across EU. Inspiring trip!

In our article we challenge the wisdom that political scientists are sitting in an ivory tower & explain how policy advisory roles differ according to scientists' individual features & science impact regimes @EPSJournal @COSTprogramme @UniWestScotland https://t.co/xaa2kwfQaZ

If you are looking for a review of what we know - and what we do not know - about ministerial and political advisers in modern democracies, you can read my chapter in the recently published Handbook on Ministerial and Political Advisers @exeterpolitics https://t.co/6YZFrbqaPH
