Nach der Landtagswahl in #Sachsen-Anhalt stellt sich die Frage mit neuer Dringlichkeit: Würde Regierungsverantwortung die AfD „entzaubern“? 📊 Unsere Analyse von 1.307 Regierungen in 57 Demokratien zeigt: Die radikale Rechte wird dadurch nicht schwächer, im Schnitt gewinnt sie rund 6 Prozentpunkte.

A lot of reasonable people insisted that Jason Arday must be a liar for having run 30 marathons in 35 days, all because a British rag deliberately refused to confirm that he did. If you didn’t already think that Arday was deliberately targeted by racist liars, here’s the evidence you need.

The Handbook on Authoritarianism in the Arab World will be out this July Endorsement below by @argohdes.bsky.social
At a moment when the majority of people across the globe are living in nondemocratic systems, this book asks an urgent question: what can the Arab world teach us about authoritarianism? Spanning the many faces of authoritarianism, it offers an impressive collection of rigorous comparative analyses by a truly diverse set of contributors, many with lived experience in the region. Essential reading for anyone trying to understand not just the Arab world, but why authoritarianism keeps winning, and what it takes to resist it."
