Griffith SGIR. Contentious politics and social movements.

@JulianWaller The article ends with "Ведь я шел по болотистой тропинке и мог увязнуть в трясине" - on the consequences of "misunderstanding" the CPSU and its politics, and on the subject's "blindness" to his own anti-Soviet path until he recognised his shortsightedness. Quite poetic.

@JulianWaller @peternmitchell Feels like yesterday!

@JulianWaller @peternmitchell Check this out, a bit of an experimental and patchy work, but maybe you’ll find a few things interesting as it involves a fair share of qual work and how it goes with llms https://t.co/1OqvsUKY5i

@JulianWaller What is authoritarianism, is it a measurable feature or a characteristic of any political system? Does it exist in some places and not in others? Is it a set of continuously evolving strategies or just an antonym for democracy? Certainly a sponge of a term, overused and undefined

Delighted to have a new article out in the Journal of Contemporary Asia. It examines the role of pro-government unions in labour cooptation in Cambodia, contributing to knowledge of how party organisations help maintain autocratic stability on the ground.
