Katerina Tertytchnaya Awarded a UKRI New Investigator Grant

C&C member Dr. Katerina Tertytchnaya has been awarded a UKRI New Investigator Grant worth £255,000 to support research on the politics on nonviolent repression in contemporary electoral autocracies. The project, which will run for three years, will allow Dr. Tertytchnaya to investigate how contemporary electoral autocracies, regimes that combine authoritarian practices with multiparty elections, use legal strategies of repression, delegated to bureaucrats and courts, in order to restrict protest and hinder opposition and voter coordination. The project builds on pilots funded by the British Academy-Leverhulme Grant, and the SHS Dean’s Strategic Fund.
