Goerres, Achim and Vanhuysse, Pieter (eds) (2021), Global Political Demography: The Politics of Population Change. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan. Open access.
This is the first comparative study of the interplay of population change and political and policy processes that explicitly covers all major macro-regions, including 7 chapters on the Global South, from 1990 to 2040. It has been recognized as a foundational contribution that establishes the discipline of ‘political demography’ on firmer empirical and analytical footings, by offering the first comprehensive treatment of the comparative politics of populations and the demography-politics interplay globally over half a century.

Vanhuysse, Pieter (2006), Divide and Pacify: Strategic Social Policies and Political Protests in Post-Communist Democracies, Budapest-New York: Central European University Press, with a Foreword by Janos Kornai.
Nominated for the American Sociological Association's Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award for 2006, Section on Political Sociology. This monograph develops a new theory of the strategic political use of social policies in East Central European transitions to democracy. It models how, after 1989, Hungarian and Polish but not Czech powerholders have administratively divided, and thereby socially pacified, large groups of similarly threatened workers by splitting them up through historically unprecedented early and disability pensioner booms.
