I'd love to read some papers on Keiko Fujimori. Two things to me are very interesting about her support and role in Peruvian politics: (1) she seems to have successfully inherited the charismatic authority of her father and (2) every time she's been the runner up, she's lost by *very* small margins.

My new goal is Brazilian Portuguese fluency. I just finished pronunciation lessons via the podcast "Ta Falado." Does anyone have any podcast/musician recommendations to increase exposure? I'm a Sinatra kinda guy, if that helps.

I am looking for English-language, undergraduate readings on Brazil's PCC. I am teaching a Drug War class this semester, and students are *way* more fascinated with the PCC than the CV. Open to journalism and podcasts too!

Some things to remember as the far right looks to Nayib Bukele as a model: The statistics the regime releases about crime reduction are unreliable at best. El Salvador just took out a huge IMF loan.
Last time I tweeted about Bukele, I got a *lot* of backlash from strangers. Lets see about now.

Just got a very useful R&R, which is always great news! When reviewers have very serious concerns but also provide concrete recommendations to improve a paper, that's phenomenal.
