The hidden instability of autocracies. This topic we will discuss with Timur Kuran, Professor of Economics and Political Science, and Gorter Family Professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University.
Prof. Kuran’s research focuses on economic, political, and social change, with emphases on institutions and preferences, and the economic and political history of the Middle East, with a focus on the role of Islam. During the #GlobalMinds4Ukraine lecture he will talk about the autocracies in the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Timur Kuran has just completed on the historical reasons why the Middle East is the least free region of the world: Freedoms Delayed: Political Legacies of Islamic Law in the Middle East (early 2023). His earlier publications include Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification and The Long Divergence: How Islamic Law Held Back the Middle East.
He directs the Association for Analytic Learning about Islam and Muslim Societies (AALIMS); co-edits a book series for Cambridge University Press, “Economics, Choice and Society”; and co-edits the Journal of Comparative Economics.
