Luis Schiumerini, Assistant Professor, University of Notre Dame: Mollie J. Cohen, Assistant Professor, Purdue University: Masaaki Higashijima, Associate Professor, University of Tokyo
Tuesday, September 30, 2025
4:00-5:30 PM
Room 555 Weiser Hall Map
This roundtable features authors from the University of Michigan’s Emerging Democracies book series and explores the complexities of elections in emerging democracies, with a focus on issues such as authoritarian restrictions, strategic boycotts, and incumbent bias. The discussion will center on the question: how can we understand elections when they don't necessarily provide voters with straightforward opportunities to hold politicians accountable?
