Episode #46 Understanding Election Boycotts – with Sebastian van Baalen Cover

#46 Understanding Election Boycotts – with Sebastian van Baalen

Our researcher Sebastian van Baalen and his team are conducting the most extensive study of election boycotts to date. In this episode, we ask him why political parties or candidates choose to drop out of elections and what they hope to achieve by doing so. What can we learn from their multifaceted reasons for opting out? Why are incumbents often afraid of such boycotts? What role does humour play?   Sebastian is the project leader for the ongoing research project “Opting out? Explaining the effectiveness of election boycotts”. Working with researchers Gudlaug Olafsdottir and Jesper Bjarnesen (The Nordic Africa Institute), the project has constructed the largest dataset so far on election boycotts, compiling new data on all election boycotts worldwide between 1945 and 2025.
