Exeter University wants to axe over 200 jobs and calls it “financial pressure”. Reserves up £188m. Six-figure salaries more than doubled. The money is the there just not for the people who teach. Academic vandalism at its finest. ucu.org.uk/article/14560/Exe…

Asymmetries in the European knowledge production on display
Tereza Hendl@TerezaHendl13 Oct 2024
European research infrastructure that takes money from CEE countries, builds evaluation panels to the exclusion of experts from South-East-Central Europe and grants over 90% of the funds to Western research institutions. How to call such system and the ways it shapes knowledge?🧵

Oxford refused to disclose its £10-million (🇦🇿 ?) donor for Central Asia research. The information commisioner denied @openDemocracy journalist @JennaCorderoy's appeal. Should a wealthy donor's privacy be prioritised over public interest and transparency? caselaw.nationalarchives.gov…

The final article from an excellent special issue of CPCS on Protest and Authoritarian Reaction in #Belarus, guest edited by @mgabo and @nbekus.
Communist and Post-Communist Studies@cpcs_journal17 Oct 2023
🚨 JUST PUBLISHED 🚨 Lukashenka’s Constitutional Plebiscite and the Polarization of Belarusian Society by Fabian Burkhardt (@fa_burkhardt) & Jan Matti Dollbaum (@JanMattiD) FREE to access for one week! #Belarus #protest #polarization #authoritarianism doi.org/10.1525/cpcs.2023.19…
Aliaksandr Lukashenka pushed through an overhaul of Belarus’s constitution as a response to the protests against the official results of the 2020 presidential election. The goal was to address the desire for change among the population without reacting to the demand for snap elections. With the February 2022 constitutional plebiscite on the most far-ranging changes to Belarus’s constitution since 1994, Lukashenka further entrenched himself in power. The results of our online survey suggest that the constitutional changes do not meet the broad societal demand for political change and, in particular, for constraints on presidential power.

This new book looks fascinating. There is so much to learn from the escalation of the Northern Irish conflict during these years: 1968 - 5 dead. 1972 - 468 dead (if I remember correctly). A historical case with broader relevance.
