If you’re not watching DOGE, you’re missing the playbook in motion: centralize trust, vacuum up the data, then rewrite reality. This isn’t tech innovation—it’s authoritarian infrastructure with a crypto grin.

So the most powerful empires on earth are finalizing ‘stuff’ instead of a treaty? No text, no transparency, no accountability. Authoritarianism really is allergic to paper trails. #DigitalAuthoritarianism #ProxyEmpire #TransparencyForTheGlobalSouth

China’s #surveillance apparatus in #Tibet criminalises the mere possession of a photo of the Dalai Lama. Nam Kyi’s testimony is a stark reminder of how digital repression is weaponised to control culture, faith, and identity. www.wsj.com/world/china/... #DigitalAuthoritarianism @wsj.com

My new article in East European Politics looks at how state capacity shapes the diffusion of #digitalauthoritarianism in Eurasia. Using Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan as cases, the article shows that borrowing authoritarian “blueprints” is one thing, but implementing them effectively is another.
Borrowed blueprints, broken systems: the moderating effect of state capacities on the diffusion of “digital authoritarianism” in Eurasia
