My new open-access article in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social is out!

Police and gang members in Fortaleza, Brazil, use digital platforms in strikingly similar ways to control who belongs in the urban periphery. How, and why it matters 🧵👇

#PoliSky #ComparativePolitics #Conflictsky
Abstract: How do armed actors leverage digital communication for territorial control? In violently contested urban environments (often known as “hybrid orders”), territorial control involves regulating who belongs in a specific geographical area. Enforcing these rules, in turn, requires gathering fine-grained information to evaluate threats and selectively project violence. This study illustrates how the affordances of digital communication platforms help armed actors to do so. Using a comparative ethnographic approach and open-source research methods, the article analyzes three digital intelligence-gathering practices used by criminal groups and militarized police in Fortaleza’s urban periphery (Brazil): smartphone inspections, digital information-sharing networks, and social media monitoring. The findings reveal how the structural features of digital communication platforms facilitate accessing and disseminating strategic information, which in turn introduces effectiveness, flexibility, and efficiency gains in territorial control. This suggests that digital media affordances play an important role in contemporary forms of territorial competition by armed groups.

The findings indicate that country-specific factors play a key role in shaping this relationship. Social, political, and cultural influences likely drive these inconsistencies.

To explore this, I conduct an initial exploratory, descriptive analysis. #PoliticalPsychology #ComparativePolitics 4/

The crisis of democracy in the Global South reflects unmet expectations, not rejection. The real struggle is between substantive democracy and its hollow imitation.
