"The very fact that many do not use the term “propaganda” but rather “misinformation” or “fake news” to delineate the deliberate spread of falsehoods by Trump and his like is significant....It highlights that scholars use different paradigms to study democracies and autocracies."

Why did the Ben Ali regime collapse so swiftly on January 14, 2011? In my new article, I argue that the fall of the Tunisian regime–the first one to collapse during the Arab Uprising–was just one of several possible outcomes of the turmoil @cpsjournal.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
