Is #democracy backsliding in #Asia?. In a new article @cps_journal, @AndrewIYeo & I argue: No, actually. What look like signs of democratic regress are part of a distinct & less obvious--but no less important--phenomenon we call democratic ceilings.🧵/1.

Great academic list for understanding #SouthKorea democratic crisis by @JohnDelury. So much of whats going on is a manifestation of how civic duty gets warped when nation and state fissures.

Lawmakers could vote to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol as soon as Friday. Regardless of the outcome, it is clear that the president’s political future is in grave doubt.
