A 5th manuscript has just been published in the special issue on #ElectionObservation that I am editing in the journal Frontiers in Political Science.
Congratulations to @MarkusPollakV, Paul Grohma and @ArminRabitsch for this excellent brief research report !
Check out our latest publication "Democracy promotion abroad, barriers at home" which analyses the surprisingly pronounced differences between "new" and "old" EU member states regarding the recognition of citizen election observers.

It was great to host this podcast episode - listen in, if you are curious about how "unarmed civilian protection" in conflicts works - and what an impressive large-scale IR research project looks like.
How does unarmed civilian protection amidst violent conflict work?
Listen and find out in our conversation with Professor Berit Bliesemann de Guevara and Professor @XKurowska about a large-scale IR research network with 26 projects all over the world.
