Time, Causation and Social Science I'm rereading some books to refine my ideas about how causal arguments are used in historical research. Abbott and Pierson are older. Wawro and Katznelson offer a quantitative approach. Kreuzer a qualitative one.

How can democracy be illiberal?🤔 "In the phrase 'liberal democracy'... the word liberal is meant to evoke not a particular economic ideology but the broader notion of a regime that is dedicated to human freedom." journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclusi…

Map from latest brief: JNIM’s drone operations have expanded across Mali, Burkina Faso, & Togo w over two dozen strikes since 2023 (80% of which were in past 5 months). The pace, reach, and technical adaptation here are unmatched by any other militant group in the region.

In my Mixed Methods courses, I assign Fetters and Freshwater's article to help my students write their MMs papers. It's a refreshingly solid and straightforward guide. "Publishing a Methodological Mixed Methods Research Article" journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

#Sahel: In this paper I raised with Niccola Milnes concerns about new security challenge: #JNIM use of modified drones. This is a serious threat to #Mali, #Niger, #BurkinaFaso, #Benin, #Togo. Also a threat to #Nigeria, & #Cameroon as #ISWAP looking to adopt same tactic.
