Since I've often posted about this project on Twitter, I wanted to share that my job market paper is now forthcoming at the Journal of Politics! This paper has been a labor of love and the source of much joy (and frustration). Excited that it found a home!
🇮🇳 For the first time in independent India’s history, the 2024 cabinet includes no Muslim ministers. As top-down inclusion stalls, does grassroots politics offer a new path forward? @FeyaadAllie explores in "India’s New Minority Politics": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…
My new article in @JoDemocracy I question the optimism about India's democracy after the 2024 election by providing a perspective on Muslim inclusion and what it means for India's liberal democracy.
🇮🇳 In 2024, India swore in a cabinet with no Muslim ministers—the first time in its democratic history. Can Muslims’ political inclusion be pursued from the bottom up instead of the top down? @FeyaadAllie investigates in "India’s New Minority Politics": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…
New in @JoDemocracy: @FeyaadAllie on India's new minority politics "The [2024] election reinforced a troubling status quo for India's largest religious minority: explicit exclusion from one side of the political spectrum and strategic silence from the other."
Excited to share my new article in the American Journal of Political Science (@AJPS_Editor)! "Endogenous Opposition: Identity and Ideology in Kuwaiti Electoral Politics" explores how authoritarian elections generate opposition to incumbent autocrats. Link: dropbox.com/scl/fi/ukrer5r…
If you or your student defended a dissertation in 2023 or 2024 related to democracy/autocracy, nominations are open for the APSA Juan Linz Dissertation Award. Submissions will be accepted until March 15. Details here: apsanet.org/membership/org…
Urban–rural cleavages are seen as a defining political divide. But does this polarization hold worldwide? My new working paper tests this question using an original dataset of granular, geocoded election returns from 106 countries (polling station-level in 70). (1/8)
If you'd like feedback on a project focused on South Asia, please consider applying to our one-day pre-EPSA workshop. Or just come discuss a paper/chair. Deadline March 1st. shorturl.at/81TLk
