Session Description
Do citizen observers affect the performance of local councilors? Do political connections increase state access? Does affiliating with international organizations enhance the influence of local NGOs? These are among the key questions this panel examines. Collectively, they shed light on the role of proximity to the state and its consequence for political outcomes like protest, accountability and access.
