In centralised systems, geography shapes democracy. Those living in political peripheries often feel excluded, even without economic inequality.

Well... the cover and release date are set, so it’s starting to feel real 😊. Our new book 📚, co-authored with P. Aroca and P. Navia, will be available soon. It explores abandoned places and the role of the internet in their inclusion (or marginalisation?) 👇

Good news! 👌 Our new paper has been accepted for publication in @rsa-tpg.bsky.social . Focusing on Chile, our study (w/ S. Rivera and @dbrieba.bsky.social ) shows that living in marginalised cities is linked to lower political knowledge and self-competence beliefs. (1/3)

The United States has formally recognized Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez as the country’s president-elect following the disputed July 28 presidential election, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on X.
