Just got back from teaching comparative politics at a university in Beijing for 2.5 weeks. It was my first time in mainland China for 16 years. I’ve got so many thoughts that I haven’t yet fully processed so for now just sharing pics of teaching, food, a few notable locations.

Thanks for contributing the chapter! Such a painfully great opening.
In a new chapter in "Teaching Autocracy and Autocratic Politics" edited by @edwardgoldring.bsky.social, I reflect upon the not so wise words of Muammar Gaddafi, and discuss how best to design teaching on autocratic politics for undergrad and grad students.

Really interesting thread on international election observers ahead of Hungary’s election.
With Hungary’s crucial election a few days away, its National Election Office has published a list of accredited international observers (n. 859). Having spent nearly a decade researching the behavior of international observers, I decided to take a closer look 😊

Interviewed today on ABC about the ROK intelligence assessment that Kim Ju Ae is being designated as successor.
My takeaway: nothing has changed; Kim Jong Un hasn’t done anything new. ROK intelligence has just increased the confidence of their assessment that Kim Ju Ae will succeed Kim Jong Un.
