The debate about the impact of colonialism on the prospects for democracy and development continues to rage. Was the legacy of colonialism equally destructive everywhere? Or were some forms of colonial rule more likely to give rise to stable and effective democracies? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Alexander Lee and Jack Paine about their important new book, The Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship (Cambridge UP, 2024), which makes a compelling new contribution to the debate. Find out why countries with lengthy exposure to competitive colonial institutions tended to consolidate democracies after independence, and how regime trajectories shaped by colonial rule persist to the present day. Guest: Alexander Lee is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester. His work has made important contributions to a number of areas, including gender quotas, affirmative action, the political economy of South Asia and the legacy of colonialism. His most recent book, Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship has been highly praised and is out now with Cambridge University Press. Jack Paine is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Political Science at Emory University. He is known for influential research on a range of topics including democratic backsliding, authoritarian power sharing, conflict and the resource curse, and the legacy of colonialism. His most recent book, Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship has been highly praised and is out now with Oxford University Press. Presenter: Dr Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR.

Find out why he won't make it (spoiler alert: he doesn't have that reaction time he used to); but also, find out why he might not want to make it. Unfortunately, e-sports have many of the problems that ‘real' sports do, and some are even worse. E-sports have lower pay, more stringent IP regimes, singular corporate control, and less labour organizing. However, could things be changing? Jay talks to Alexander Lee, esports and games reporter at Digiday.

To many, the metaverse might feel like an obscure, perhaps mysterious, part of the internet that's exclusive to gamers, NFT collectors and over zealous tech CEOs.  However, as the metaverse develops, the truth is that it has the potential to reshape the entirety of the online world in ways a lot of people don't expect. The metaverse could be the solution to universal ID, a way to better connect scattered workforces and provide a new e-commerce strategy for brands and retailers looking to reach younger consumers. “Really the most important thing when people say the word metaverse is that they're just talking about a version of the internet, where when you go to Reddit or you go to Facebook or you go to Instagram, you are the same person,” said Digiday esports and gaming reporter Alexander Lee during the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast. “You don't have different profiles or identities across those platforms. You are just yourself moving around in virtual space. ”But to get to that point, there is still much to be built and executed on, in order to achieve the idyllic version and the truest form of the metaverse, Lee said. During this episode, Lee provides a detailed discussion of one of the fastest growing parts of the internet and that stands to reason will be a big topic for 2022.

Renaissance humanists and the Holy Roman Empire haven't mixed well in most scholarship. Humanists were supposed to be learned exponents of liberty. Often employed by Italian city-states, their civic pride and positive valuation of the ancient Roman Republic meant, it was claimed, that empire was anathema to them. But in a lucidly written and penetrating study of the early Renaissance, Dr. Alexander Lee turns these narratives on their heads. Humanism and Empire: The Imperial Ideal in Fourteenth-Century Italy (Oxford University Press, 2018) looks at the relationship between humanists of northern Italy and the Holy Roman Empire. It finds, for example, that humanists working for both republican and autocratic cities could fit their politics onto an imperial landscape drafted on a classicizing canvass. They debated the universality of imperial dominion, the spheres of authority between pope and emperor, and much besides. Impressively, this study is grounded in the frenetic politics of the fourteenth century, and Dr. Lee demonstrates the extent to which humanist assessments of empire responded in lockstep with the shifting sands of Italian affairs.

By delving into the Renaissance world swirling through the courts of Borgia popes and the dungeons of the Stinche prison, Alex has taken time tot review Machiavelli's invidious reputation. Was this man really as sinister as he is often thought to be? Might he have been a more sympathetic figure, prone to political mishaps and personal dramas?

This episode is an exciting one for me. I got the chance to sit down and talk with my co-workers at Diamond Sports Training Center, Alexander Lee and Steven Finch. Alexander Lee is the Director of Player Development and plays a huge role in the direction of the hitting and defensive work at Diamond Sports. He played college baseball at Radford University in Virginia and was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 2014 and played two professional seasons before taking a full-time job at Diamond Sports. Steven Finch is the Director of Operations and handles a lot of the behind the scenes work at Diamond Sports and he also coaches our 16U Bulldogs team. He has a little more unconventional route to coaching but there aren't many other coaches out there who have that care factor characteristic that Steven has. He gets the most out of his teams and prides himself on developing young men just as much as he does good baseball players. In this episode, we talk a lot about the culture at Diamond Sports and how our culture paired with our training really separates us from others travel ball facilities in the industry.

Pour cet épisode, j’ai le plaisir de recevoir Alexander Lee, un artiste polynésien au parcours atypique. J’avais particulièrement envie de faire cette interview avec lui pour découvrir comment un jeune garçon qui a grandi a Mahina et que rien ne prédestinait à l’art a pu participer à des expositions d’art contemporain à New York et en Europe.  Au travers de notre entretien on comprend qu’Alexander est en perpétuellement questionnement, de lui-même, de ses origines, du monde qui l’entoure et c’est très probablement la clé de son parcours, avec un certain sens de l’humour et du second degrés.  Il y a surtout chez Alexander une forme de détermination qui force le respect, et l’on sent qu’il a dû se battre pour arriver petit à petit à finir ses études et tracer son chemin.  Je vous invite donc à découvrir le parcours d’un tahitien d’origine modeste et qui a réussi à conquérir New-York, et sa très belle leçon : si l’on croit en ses rêves, rien n’est impossible.
