@royaizadi.bsky.social has a wonderful piece in @goodauth.bsky.social. A few takeaways 1/3 1.) pre war support for the government was higher than most people think (50%), while support for regime change was low (30%). The regime had a lot more support than media coverage would suggest.

If you're teaching political behavior, race and politics, or criminal justice in the fall, this is for you! My latest for @goodauth.bsky.social synthesizing some of the excellent literature on how carceral contact influences politics 👇 goodauthority.org/news/good-to...

Good to Know: How contact with the carceral state affects our politics

Can direct and indirect contact with police and immigration enforcement officials influence political participation?

In this @goodauth.bsky.social piece, I explain how sudden withdrawal of USAID has created a domino of economic militarization across Africa and beyond. This piece is part of a broader project with wonderful @katjakleinberg.bsky.social on the consequences of economic shocks and militarization.

In a new paper, @royaizadi.bsky.social and I show that military involvement in the economy lowers the risk of mutinies. Military businesses lead to rent-seeking among the rank-and-file, and soldiers are loathe to risk access to private goodies. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
