Do #government #transparency initiatives maintain social #stability in #autocracies by redirecting #discontent from the streets to institutions? Handi Li theorizes that they do and uses the case of #China to test her #theory in her January WP article. doi.org/10.1353/wp.2...

Good on @davidebybc.bsky.social for calling out Alberta separatist as #traitors for soliciting USA support & funds to drive an agenda for a referendum
Albertan's are smart people that see through this #charade of #discontent and know how to work with Canada

This is balance. Hope & discontent, a cycle of needing change then making it happen over and over. You know something is out of whack and you know you can make it right. 🌙 ✨

PS: It is what it is, but it doesn’t have to be. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The dynamism of the #megacity rarely trickles down & the fixation on size has fuelled a #geography of #discontent.
As I write in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social, real prosperity requires better #institutions & development ecosystems, not just stacking capital in the #metropolis.

Does #Trump think he should defeat #LouisIV of France in #gold and obscene display of money, power and #discontent?
That king has been #dead for a while. So you don't have to give that competition Trump.

#EU #cohesion funds assume regional inequality is a passing rash: apply money, await recovery.
Petrakos, Alexiou & Sotiriou show in Growth and Change that #discontent isn’t a symptom of stagnation but a cause.
Hence, ignoring regions in a #DevelopmentTrap weakens the EU.

Governments cannot "message" their way out of a geography of #discontent. Writing in Regional Science Policy & Practice, Torre and @bourdinseb.bsky.social suggest that only territorial justice can repair the symbolic hierarchies that treat certain #regions as obsolete.

Daunting Dissatisfaction A woman appears to be put together with confidence and a successful job, but the reality under the surface is a churning turmoil of anxiety in Discontent by Beatriz Serrano and translated by Mara Faye Lethem. Working at an ad agency in Madrid, Marisa’s life, by all appearances, is an enviable one: she has a nice apartment, a hot, friendly neighbor she can talk and sleep with, and she’s quickly risen through her company without putting in too much of her own effort.

Marisa acteert elke werkdag op kantoor. Het liefst kijkt ze filmpjes op YouTube. Tegelijkertijd houdt ze de schijn op niet alleen productief te zijn, maar ook een enorme passie te hebben voor haar baan als Head of creative strategy en het reclamebureau waar ze werkt.
