Check out our new article in @lawfaremedia.org - with @ndelacerda.bsky.social and Ayelén Vanegas - which covers our our working paper "Institutional Accountability and Support for Democracy: Evidence from a Natural Experiment". You can see the article below.
Using recent survey data, @ndelacerda.bsky.social, @isabellatingley.bsky.social, and Ayelén Vanegas found that the charges against Jair Bolsanaro for his 2023 coup attempt didn't shake support for democracy among his backers and bolstered democratic support among those who did not vote for him.
Is Accountability Polarizing? What Bolsonaro’s Indictment Can Tell Us
Holding anti-democratic leaders accountable is often seen as a risky endeavor. But a recent study in Brazil complicates that assumption.

Reposting this in case useful to anyone this year! Includes info on negotiating, etc.

This is certainly not mean to be an authoritative guide, but we hope it can be a useful resource! #polisky
