So I just finished a book. The goal is to try to understand how foreign aid affects elections and democratic accountability -- something I've been thinking about for a long time now. The book is free to read at cup.org/3U9VVxO. (1/n)
Dependency Politics by Ryan Jablonski Examines how democracy works in aid-dependent countries, challenging conventional wisdom on how aid affects elections and public policy. 📚 cup.org/3U9VVxO

In particular, I document the challenges that voters, politicians and bureaucrats face in understanding the scale, location and source of aid-financed spending. I show how this uncertainty often leads to inefficient voting and policy decisions.

Most election tallies have error, often fuelling accusations of fraud. So how do we distinguish between error and fraud? Johan Ahlbäck and I have a new @BJPolS examining this question in the context of the famously disputed and annulled 2019 Malawi election.
