In a democracy, when and where should majorities rule? And when should their powers ever be limited? Steve Levitsky and I propose a framework to think through these questions in a new piece in the January 2025 issue of 'Journal of Democracy'

After decades of democratic regression, Indonesia is now at the edge of competitive authoritarianism. @evewarburton & @sdjaffrey in @ANUIndonesia Update 2024 traces how incumbent abuse of Jokowi and Prabowo especially in breaching electoral red lines is changing political trajectory of the country.

Fulcrum Commentary by Yasmira Moner and @ariesarugay - The May 2025 BARMM elections will not only decide the fate of the conflict-ridden region but also test whether its rules can effectively reduce the dominance of political dynasties. #Philippines https://t.co/kXUdTE47g4

[Ian Wilson @iwilson69]

Nation-wide demonstrations shows support for electoral democracy remains high. This isn't shared by major political parties who are collaborating in cartel-like fashion to shrink competitive space. This set to increase under Prabowo. New piece by me @iseas

"We are convinced it is for real. It was not some snap decision, easily reversed. It was the result of a nearly 15-year reconsideration of ends and means, aided by two years of intensive discussions with a police team from Densus88."

[Alif Satria @alifstria]

My quick thoughts on @ChannelNewsAsia regarding Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leaders' June 30 announcement to disband the organization. Tl;dr: still important to monitor the risk of group splintering and members' infiltration of Islamic organizations.

[M @MuniraMustaffa]

"That said, the threat should not be exaggerated. If a splinter group does emerge, it will take some time for them to reorganise and recruit new members."

Excellent think piece as always by @alifstria.

An interesting perspective on local politics.

Pockets of Aurora are still affected by armed conflict which may not be a total surprise given the socio-economic context.

NTF-ELCAC covered 17 barangays in the area for development projects.
