Please forgive the cringey āopening-box-of-my-new-bookā Tweet but Iām delighted and relieved that this thing is finally here. Thanks, jose gonzalez oregel for the lovely job youāve done with it.




Had pleasure to present my research on open government and digital activism in Central Asia at the Exeter University. Many thanks John Heathershaw @jheathershaw.bsky.social David Lewis @CatOwenExeter for the great discussion of the trajectories of the regionās political development.


Pausing from contemporary news to remember the Andijan massacre in #Uzbekistan - which took place 19 years ago today. Still no justice, btw. And if you're hearing abt this for the first time, have a look at Human Rights Watch's report "Bullets Were Falling Like Rain" - hrw.org/reports/2005/uā¦
