Democracy in Latin America
@Raul_L_Madrid's new book on the origins of democracy in South America has just been published - and we're lucky that it's open access.

Iām published today in @folha, Brazilās paper of record.
I argue against the motion that organised crime in Brazil be re-classified as āterrorismā.
In the other ācornerā, ClĆ”udio Castro, the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, argues for the motion.

New (Open Access) work!
Wrote about how a "sacred geography" is shaped through sites, routes and neighbourhoods, and how one can read the recent outreach by Kerala BJP leaders to the Christian community.
