Back to Europe after #APSA2023, LA: what a bizarre megacity! Fantastic panel where Luca Tomini and I presented on how to avoid regime change during autocratization. Thanks to organizers Amanda B. Edgell & Staffan I. Lindberg @[email protected], our discussant Steven Levitsky, participants & friends met there!

Does the overlapping between ethnic and economic division harm democracy? Guido Panzano presents novel evidence matching survey data with an expert survey to illustrate how inequalities btw ethnic groups can be among the causes of #autocratization. doi.org/10.1080/135103…

In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza

Very, VERY interesting paper. I wonder why theories based on cleavage structure (reinforcing vs overlapping), which are so persuasive, are not tested more frequently. This is a great contribution in that direction.

Mi girano questo video, in cui un motivatissimo Lucio Caracciolo se la prende con la “cosiddetta scienza politica” e con il suo nefasto impatto sul dibattito pubblico italiano. Una tale sequenza di falsità e argomenti fallaci che mi strappa questa risposta dalle dita. 👇 🧵 1/22

It's always the same story: it starts with censorship, and it ends with constitutional changes (or worse). To those who keep saying that Giorgia Meloni is only a conservative politician, please read this 👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Super happy to have contributed to this massive project with a chapter! And praise to the editors!👏🏼

Thanks to Institut für Europäische Politik for involving me in the massive #RESILIO project! Here, I explore the sources of rule of law deterioration and resilience in Italy (as expected, not an optmistic overview)

Followed by another session on Measurement & Data Collection, now more on to protests, conflicts & regime dynamics, chaired & discussed by Per F. Andersson Guido Panzano at 5pm on Thursday #EPSA2024

Back from 2 weeks of presentations of co-authored work with Luca Tomini at Bergen's @NoPSA & Cologne's EPSA. Ispiring chats, amazing views - thanks for organization and comments! SciencePo ULB

Very happy to receive Società Italiana di Scienza Politica Elinor Ostrom Prize for our paper with Zdravko Veljanov and Guido Panzano ! And glad to have friends & colleagues like Daniel Kovarek who promote your work 🙂

It was super nice to be in beautiful Trieste at Società Italiana di Scienza Politica #SISP2024! Insighful roundtables/presentations of work with Luca Tomini, Elinor Ostrom Prize shared with friends Mehmet Yavuz Zdravko Veljanov, and great chats with friends around Europe!
