How did Cold War regimes maintain control—or lose it—through the power of secret police? What happens when those tasked with enforcing order begin to threaten it? Join us tomorrow evening for a discussion of "Watching the Watchers: Communist Elites, the Secret Police and Social Order in Cold War Europe", a new book by @HenryRThomson of @ASU_SPGS, exploring how eight communist states grappled with the dangerous paradox of coercive control.

Co-hosted by @MelikianASU & PCFR, this conversation will cover the politics of surveillance, repression, and elite power after Stalin’s death.

TOMORROW, April 24
5:30–6:45 p.m. MST

Dr. Thomson will explore the delicate balance between state security and political stability, drawing from his analysis of eight regimes and their responses to the power vacuum left by Stalin’s death.

Does authoritarian repression undermine opposition parties' electoral support? Thomson finds that the German SPD quickly adapted to maintain electoral mobilization despite targeted repression.
