The German CDU today knowingly breaks one of the fundamental unwritten rules of German democracy after 1945: never cooperate with anti-democratic, far right forces. By passing a parliamentary resolution with the support of the AfD, they have willingly weakened German democracy. Eine Schande!

Electoral incentives to militarize, especially in contexts of high crime, can override ideological commitments to human rights. Electing progressive politicians is not enough to reform law enforcement.

Even though leftist parties express a commitment to human rights, left-leaning mayors double down on militarized policing to display competency in public security and compete in a policy space traditionally occupied by the right: law and order.

We studied municipal police forces (guardas municipais) in Brazil and find that leftist mayors tend to militarize them more than non-leftists mayors.

Analysis L21 | Urban and Bogotá bias. Petro and the mistake of trying to nationalize subnational elections in Colombia.
With JP Milanese, we wrote this analysis about the recent subnational elections in Colombia. Subnational politics in Colombia is not a reflection of national politics! This has to be a part of our analysis of the results! latinoamerica21.com/en/petro-and...
