Interested in democracy? Ever wondered why it varies so markedly within countries? Or simply keen to learn about Brazil?

If so, check out our new piece in Studies in Comparative International Development (SCID)!

I certainly had a blast working on it with Virginia & Tim!

Link to the paper 👇 👇
So happy to see this piece out!

✍ In this paper, Javier Pérez Sandoval, Timothy Power, and I contribute to a growing body of literature examining within-country variation in political regimes. (1/4)
New research by @javierpsandoval.bsky.social & Timothy J. Power, alongside Virginia Rocha asks what accounts for the striking differences in electoral democracy across Brazil’s 27 states 👇
