We’re wrapping up our panel on democracy from the African Studies Association with a presentation from Paul Friesen on local democratic resilience under national autocracy. Friesen is a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University, part of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies’s Democratic Threats and Resilience research team.
His research and teaching interests focus on democratization, elections, political parties, and political behavior in sub-Saharan Africa.
