Dr. Julian Michel's research explores the role of subnational governments in processes of democratic backsliding and state formation. His research has been published in International Organization, received grant support of over $300,000, and was recognized by APSA's Michael Wallerstein Best Article and Deil S. Wright Best Paper Awards.
In his dissertation, "The Subnational Roots of Democratic Stability," he relies on novel data on subnational election outcomes in 84 democracies (1990-2021) to show that opposition-controlled subnational governments have on average been sources of national-level democratic stability after the Cold War.
In other work, he explores how opportunities to emigrate influenced (a) autocratic stability in the German Democratic Republic and (b) citizen attitudes towards contentious politics in Hong Kong.
Finally, he is co-leading several projects on state capacity building by subnational incumbents in Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. This research relies on an administrative collaboration with the Mayor of Freetown and received generous funding from the International Center for Tax and Development and the International Growth Center.
