I found this to be a fascinating conversation -- Dan raises a lot of challenging and thoughtful questions about how aid shapes political behaviour and democracy. Thanks to @danbanik and @GlobalDevPod for hosting!

In Pursuit of Development 🎙️🌍 @GlobalDevPod 4d

Foreign aid is politics. Who gets the credit when a new school is built? The donor who pays for it, or the politician who claims to have delivered it?

Our guest is @ryan_jablonski, and we discuss the hidden politics of foreign aid, elections, and democracy.

So I just finished a book. The goal is to try to understand how foreign aid affects elections and democratic accountability -- something I've been thinking about for a long time now. The book is free to read at cup.org/3U9VVxO. (1/n)

Most election tallies have error, often fuelling accusations of fraud. So how do we distinguish between error and fraud? Johan Ahlbäck and I have a new @BJPolS examining this question in the context of the famously disputed and annulled 2019 Malawi election.
