Very interesting initiative

Excited to share that my chapter with @SLMazzuca , “State Power: Patrimonialism against Capacity,” is forthcoming in The Oxford Handbook of Argentine Politics, published by Oxford University Press!

ALT APSR abstract for "Endogenous Colonial Borders: Precolonial States and Geography in the Partition of Africa," by Jack Paine, Xiaoyan Qiu, and Joan Ricart-Huguet, The authors revise the view that Africa's borders were drawn arbitrarily, showing precolonial states and geography shaped 62% of bilateral borders, often via water bodies rather than straight lines. Full abstract is available in linked article.
I'll be working on my book project on the redistributive consequences of officeholding requirements during the first wave of democratization, as well as projects examining the economic legacies of frontier expansion in Argentina. Feel free to reach out!
I'm delighted to share that I've officially started my appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer in the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University!
