As always, it was a true pleasure to write this piece together with my illustrious coauthor and friend @feiyonah.bsky.social, whose work on judicial politics in Africa inspired many of our insights.

So happy to see this out! We caution against excessive optimism that the opposition will restore countries back to their democratic trajectories after electoral victory. Weakened institutions and the memory of repression makes it tempting to continue rather than buck the trend of autocratization.

Journal of Democracy @jodemocracy.bsky.social · 12d

Conventional wisdom says that, once in power, opposition parties will return backsliding countries to the democratic path. In reality, not only is this not true, but it is not uncommon for the opposition to adopt the autocratic habits of the regime they replaced.

Early-career faculty in the social sciences working on issues of diversity should apply to the Stanford CASBS Diversity Institute. Hang out with brilliant cohort of like-minded scholars and awesome mentors in a beautiful setting. It will be transformative!

Please submit nominations for APSA's Experiments Section's best book award! We will consider books that either use or are about experimental research methods in the study of politics. (Reposting because there has been a change in the committee.)
