"Tutelary Power and Autocratic Legitimacy: Experimental Evidence from Kazakhstan’s Tutelage" with @mhigashi.bsky.social has been conditionally accepted at the JOP! We examine whether a de fact guardian boosts popular support for a de jure autocratic leader. shiraito.github.io/research/pag...

We know we are probably missing some up and coming students who would be great for this conference, so please pass this invitation along to other colleagues (including late-stage graduate students) working in this area! (5/5)

We will try notify participants within a week or so. Participants will be required to confirm later that month. Participants also will need to register for WPSA and make their own travel and lodging arrangements. (4/5)

To avoid any confusion, please note that we have an extension from WPSA. Applications to each are separate, and you should apply to the mini-conference separately even if you have already applied to WPSA. (3/5)
