Very interesting piece on political violence by @andrearuggeri.bsky.social and co-authors, though I think they could have also mentioned Spain in the 1930s, as there are many parallels with what's happening today in the US, unfortunately. blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...

Thanks @lseusablog.bsky.social for guesting a reflection of ours on the recent political violence in the USA (but not only). For those who want to read our open access special issue intro on political violence in democracies @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social : journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Costalli, Guariso, @apvjustino.bsky.social, & @andrearuggeri.bsky.social map violent repertoires in democracies. With new dataset, Italy (1969–88), argue political violence in democracies requires a broader lens & should not be seen as a residual phenomenon. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

This is an excellent special issue! Highly recommended.

Thanks to @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social for giving us the possibility to guest edit a special issue on "Political violence in democracies". Ursula Daxecker, @neerajprsd.bsky.social and I wrote an open access introduction: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... Thanks to all authors of 14 articles!
