Our attempt to bring together bureaucracy lit in the American and Comparative subfields. The result of hours of conversations, and much wheel spinning, to identify and understand potential "blind spots". We hope it encourages more cross-subfield conversations and projects!

We argue that rural insurgencies generated political exclusion & autocratic regimes, while urban protests fostered democratic behavior & institutions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

While behavioural change generalizes toward outgroup strangers, we do not see another type of generalization: camps do not affect attitudes or national identity. Behavioural change without attitudinal change is a common finding: annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…. 7/14

Credit claiming is surprisingly under-researched; we hope to see others build on our work!
