🆕 📣 Making my BlueSky debut to share some exciting news: the first solo-authored publication from my PhD dissertation, published last week 🔓 open access in @gsqjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic...
A thread 🧵:
New policy brief from @golafs.bsky.social & me for SUITS:
Turkey may be at a turning point. With the PKK disbanded and constitutional reform back in play, the stakes—for both peace and democracy—are high.
We look at what’s changed since 2011, and what’s now at risk.

This failed coup attempt highlights the importance of a "civilized" military in safeguarding democracy. What if President Yoon had a military background and strong ties with the generals, such that they would have followed his orders to open fire? No military should be elected to political office.

Great to see this paper co-authored with Laure Bokobza out with an issue number in @democratization.bsky.social (albeit it has been online first for a while).
In the article we argue and show that dictatorships increasingly include multiple parties in the governing coalition to co-opt outsiders.
I am very excited about being part of this team!
Can’t wait to get started!
In those moments I'd opt for a café! Get the work done while feeling the buzz of the city, coupled with nice coffee ☕🏙️
Well thank you @hathaonguyen.bsky.social then! :)
Thank you!
Excited to explore this platform, thanks for the invite @sebvanbaalen.bsky.social!
