Emigration from closed autocracies is often thought to serve as a safety valve and improve stability. I show that it can also backfire and create more demand for emigration, thus raising popular pressure on the regime.

About 214,000* Germans living abroad had registered to vote** in yesterday's election. Because this was a snap election with a compressed timeline, many voters didn't receive their absentee ballots in time.*** I'm one of them: mine arrived today. The day after the election.

Excited to share my new publication, which just came out in
World Politics. The paper argues that authoritarian *breakdown* and the circumstances surrounding democratization can have long-lasting consequences for democratic expectations and attitudes. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...
