DPIR's Neil Ketchley wins two APSA awards

Professor Neil Ketchley has won two Best Article Awards from the MENA Politics section of the American Political Science Association (APSA) for research published last year in Perspectives on Politics and the Journal of Peace Research. 

The first article - ‘Burnings, Beatings, and Bombings: Disaggregating Anti-Christian Violence in Egypt, 2013–2018’ - co-authored with Christopher Barrie (NYU) and Killian Clarke (Georgetown), examines the dynamics of anti-Christian violence in Egypt. 

The second article - ‘Anti-austerity riots in late developing states: Evidence from the 1977 Egyptian Bread Intifada’ - with Ferdinand Eibl (King's College London) and Jeroen Gunning (King's College London), highlights the central role of labour market status in Egypt in shaping expectations about access to public goods provision, and how this, in turn, makes some people more likely to participate in anti-austerity riots.

Professor Ketchley said: 

"It's great to see research on contentious politics in the MENA being recognised by colleagues"

Professor Ketchley is currently completely a book manuscript on the 1919 Egyptian Revolution with funding from the British Academy.
