Zoom registration at https:\/\/myumi.ch\/qV3kX\r\n\r\nNatalia Forrat is a social scientist studying democracy, authoritarianism, state power, and civil society. She obtained her PhD from Northwestern University and held academic appointments at Stanford University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Michigan. Currently, she is a lecturer at the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Michigan.\r\n \r\n Why are some authoritarian regimes highly competitive and others highly unified? Do they function differently? And what does it mean for our understanding of democracy and democratization? The Social Roots of Authoritarianism unpacks the grassroots mechanisms maintaining unity-based and division-based authoritarianisms. It argues that they develop in societies with opposite visions: the state as team leader or the state as outsider. Depending on which vision of the state is dominant in society, autocrats must use different tools to consolidate their regimes or risk pushback. The book demonstrates the grassroots mechanisms of authoritarian power comparing four Russian regions with opposite patterns of electoral performance\u2014the Rostov region, the Kemerovo region, the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Republic of Altai. In two of them, public organizations formed centralized political machines and blended civic and political functions amplified by the teamwork logic. In the other two, clientelistic political machines ruled by the utility maximization logic dominated. The theory of unity- and division-based authoritarianisms developed in the book implies that these types of authoritarian regimes miss the opposite elements of democracy, and that democratization depends on cultivating these missing institutions over time.\r\n\r\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Strong winds from these storms cause widespread damage to trees, thus affecting their demography by increasing mortality risk and altering their growth dynamics and abundance changes in the aftermath. Functional trait ecology allows us to quantitatively measure the physiological mechanisms that underpin tree demographic variation and TC responses, but these demographic dynamics and trait-demography connections vary in magnitude, direction, and strength across impacted forest systems.\r\n\r\nIn light of this variation, my research will incorporate both functional trait and characteristics of present and past cyclone impacts to determine which predictors modulate demographic responses on a global scale; and will investigate individual, population, and community-level functional trait patterns and how these inform growth rate dynamism in a TC-prone forest in Puerto Rico. With the frequency of intense TCs and their geographic range of impacts both forecasted to increase with climate change, a mechanistic and comprehensive understanding of forest responses to these events is more important than ever before.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"134546-21874479@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/134546", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "campus_maps_id":"631", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["environmental","Environment","Ecosystems","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","Ecology & Biology","ecology","climate","Bsbsigns"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminars", "group_id":"3823", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/04\/event_134546_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21874479 } }
