This is such an important article from Tamir Moustafa!
🚨 New article at Studies in Comparative International Development! How do voters evaluate co-ethnic reps when a) public goods are privatized and b) provision is linked to criminality? Niloufer Siddiqui and I look at Karachi's hybrid provision of water service delivery. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
My article with Asfandyar Mir examining the link between nationalism and conspiracy theories about rights-seeking minority groups is now out at British Jnl Poli Sci. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
So excited to see this article from Zoha Waseem on the impact of institutional inequalities on security work in Pakistan’s policing system out now in Security Dialogue. Do give it a read!
This report by Zoha Waseem for Carnegie South Asia takes a deep dive into lawfare in Pakistan’s political system as she tracks how, across governments and regimes, the law has been weaponized to criminalize political opposition, suppress dissent, and consolidate state power.
Many congrats Niloufer Siddiqui!
Strongly condemn the arrest of Prof Nida Kirmani, alongside peaceful BYC protesters by state authorities at the KPC today. Peaceful protest and dissent must not be criminalized.
I'm happy to announce that the line-up for our Sawyer Seminar on Just Policing at Institute for Advanced Study, U of M is live! Check out our exciting talks, incl. Marisol LeBrón, Zoha Waseem, Robert Chase, Matt Lassiter, Julian Go, and Monica Bell at: ias.umn.edu/news-stories/a… (+ sign up for listserve!)
