Playing with fire: parties and political violence in Kenya and India Published in Commonwealth & Comparative Politics (Ahead of Print, 2025)

Erik Cleven's research on Kenya informed much of thinking on party-driven violence. Very grateful for his review of my book in Commonwealth & Comparative Politics. The review is below, and the book can be found in all the places one goes to for academic books: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/V6DHK...

I did some RA work for the book (wasn't smart enough to TA for him), didn't get a mention in acknowledgements but Jeffrey generously autographed my copy! The book aside, perhaps the one Prof from whom I leaned the most about comparative politics. Terrific teacher.

In other words, rent-seeking or, more precisely, political corruption!

I hope the tyrant will be brought to justice some day.

The AfCFTA isn’t just about tradeβ€”it’s a pathway for Ethiopia to enhance industrialization, gender equality, and inclusive economic development. With the right strategies, Ethiopian MSMEs can thrive in this vast market.

Why does AfCFTA matter for Ethiopia?

Once implemented it will be the world's largest free trade area, connecting 1.3B ppl across 54 countries. For Ethiopia, this means access to a $3.4T market with opportunities for job creation, export diversification & lower logistics costs

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel.

We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration.

We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.
