Next week a co-author (Lorenzo Bernal Verdugo) and I (Jose Antonio Hernandez Company) will be presenting a paper we have been working on for the last 9 months. The title of the paper is “Why Parties? A Theory of Opposition Party Formation in Authoritarian Settings”. Our discussant will be Mark Deming. I hope to see you all there!

I sent a copy of the paper earlier today to the workshop’s mailing list.
