Your weekend reading (and my new article) is out today @PoPpublicsphere.

In this article I develop a novel theory of autocratic revolving doors - the phenomenon of autocratic elites returning to a cabinet position under democracy.

Super excited to see this paper - with the all-time great Alex Baturo - published in @World_Pol.

We conceptualized dictators as human resource managers to provide a unified theoretical explanation...

We use novel measures of dismissals and reshuffles from two different datasets to test our theoretical observations (including the mechanisms). We also illustrate the logic of our argument with a short case study of elite management strategies under Putin in Russia.

New publication alert @The_PEIO:
Under what conditions are new democracies more committed to human rights? More specifically, what role do former autocratic elites play in shaping ratification of international human rights treaties?

The results show that returning autocratic elite reduce human rights treaty commitment by new democracies, particularly when the Ministry of Justice portfolio is held by a former autocrat.
