This week I'm happy to be part of the Summer School on 'Electoral Democracy in Danger?' at the SciencesPo Paris, organized by @r_dassonneville and @RomainLachat . Two days on Affective Polarization and Electoral Integrity are in the books. Tomorrow we will focus on democratic backsliding,and I'm glad about contributing to the program by presenting a piece of my work on typologizing processes of #autocratization.

P.S.: obviously there are worse places to work than Paris 😉

"State of the world 2022: defiance in the face of autocratization" Wiebrecht+2023

2022 update on #StateOfDemocracy with #VarietiesOfDemocracy dataset V13

- 1 good: "8 countries not only stopped but also reversed #autocratization in the last 10 years"
-- 5 factors:
* executive constraints
* mass mobilization
* alternation in power
* unified opposition coalescing with civil society
* international democracy support

DEMOCRACY REPORT 2023
#Defiance in the Face of #Autocratization. Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) produces the largest global dataset on #democracy with over 31 million data points for 202 countries from 1789 to 2022. Involving almost 4,000
scholars and other country experts, V-Dem measures hundreds of different attributes of democracy. V-Dem enables new ways to study the nature, causes, and consequences of
democracy embracing its multiple meanings. https://v-dem.net/documents/29/V-dem_democracyreport2023_lowres.pdf

What is autocratization and how can we measure it?

We have a new paper forthcoming in the Journal of Peace Research which conceptualizes episodes of #democratization and #autocratization and develops a new dataset. The ERT dataset, codebook, a user-friendly R package and a ShinyApp is already available here: https://github.com/vdeminstitute/ERT

Hello👋! This is my #introduction post.

I am a political scientist at Altınbaş University and the head of political science and public administration department. My academic interests are at the intersection of #politicaltheory and #ComparativePolitics. I got my PhD from Boğaziçi University in 2019 with a thesis on a conceptual analysis of secularism as a constitutional principle. Recently, I’ve been working on #democratictheory, #democratization, #autocratization, and political participation.

Message on #autocratization delivered at #ForumHRDem at #UN Palais Nations.

"There are no politically independent state institutions left in Hungary. (...) The only acceptable guarantee in exchange of the termination of the Conditionality Regulation procedure is actually #Hungary joining #EPPO"
