Po Wołyniu był jeszcze Hrubieszów. Zapomniana historia współpracy polskiego i ukraińskiego podziemia - https://oko.press/po-wolyniu-byl-jeszcze-hrubieszow-zapomniana-historia-wspolpracy-polskiego-i-ukrainskiego-podziemia

Po Wołyniu był jeszcze Hrubieszów. Zapomniana historia współpracy polskiego i ukraińskiego podziemia

Dzisiejsza debata sprawia wrażenie, jakby historia relacji polsko-ukraińskich zatrzymała się w 1943 roku. Jakby po Wołyniu nie wydarzyło się już nic, co mogłoby zmienić sposób, w jaki patrzymy na siebie nawzajem. Tymczasem zaledwie dwa lata po zakończeniu wojny wydarzyło się coś, co jeszcze w 1943 roku wydawałoby się całkowicie niemożliwe.

Super grateful for a wonderful review of Making a Career in Dictatorship by the very sharp @kkrakows.bsky.social in @democratization.bsky.social One of my favorite lines: "Few books sustain this level of analytical momentum across chapters."

Russia, Venezuela, Iran, China, the Sahel region, the United States ... Want to know why state agents carry out brutal repression — or participate in illegal coups? Our new book "Making a Career in Dictatorship" provides answers — it just got published by @academic.oup.com: tinyurl.com/ystwm3tf

Does public service deprivation boost support for the populist right? New evidence in our paper, conditionally accepted at APSR 🥳, where we study how GP closures shape voting intentions in England. 👇

Thrilled that my paper (w/@sarahobolt.bsky.social,@catherinedevries.bsky.social,@simonecremaschi.bsky.social) was accepted at the American Political Science Review! We find that declining public services fuel support for the populist right — and show why the right benefits more than other parties 🧵

📝 Research from Turkey finds that visible religious markers like headscarves & beards can reduce perceived trustworthiness among strangers 🤝 This held even among highly religious respondents - challenging the idea that these markers signal trust. 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/reli...

Using surnames, we show that colonial-era hierarchies continue to shape access to Colombia’s best schools and elite social networks, limiting intergenerational mobility through both education and marriage. Read today's article to learn more:

🚨Free book alert (for 2 weeks)! In her new CUP Element, @caglayanbaser.bsky.social shows that rebel groups with♀️combatants are seen as more gender-equal, democratic and morally legitimate, even when they perpetrate violence. This increases public support for government sponsorship of rebel groups!

Caglayan Baser@caglayanbaser.bsky.social · 7mo ago

🎉New book alert! 📢Do female combatants shape foreign support for rebel groups? My new @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org book shows that groups with women fighters receive more foreign backing because they’re seen as more democratic, gender equal and less violent. 🔓Free to read for 2 weeks👇

can't wait to dig into the data with @tommasopavone.bsky.social. This is probably one of the largest survey experiments ever run in Slovakia, a country you will not find analysed in the big journals very often

Tommaso Pavone@tommasopavone.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Can reflecting on past democratic backsliding episodes “inoculate” citizens into vigilant liberal democrats? Drawing on the Slovak case, @movadek.bsky.social & I will find out: our registered report is in-principle accepted @thejop.bsky.social & survey results forthcoming! See tinyurl.com/uv5wybhs
