Earthquakes. Hurricanes. Floods. The world is not short of disasters. When faced with such events, autocrats often resort to blame shifting. But does this strategy work? In our forthcoming new paper with @edwardgoldring.bsky.social & @jonaswschmid.bsky.social, we unpack this question. Thread ⬇️

New paper on blame shifting in autocracies with @jonaswschmid.bsky.social & @fapaydin.bsky.social, just accepted at Perspectives. Full thread and link to pre-print below 👇
