Not sure if you've seen this already, but I found this to be a very useful resource.

Thanks so much, Jacob!
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.
The deadline for submission of papers to the Boston/New England Area Working Group in African Political Economy (BWGAPE) is March 28 (Friday). Please consider applying! #polisky #EconSky @nlnathan.bsky.social
