@snf_ch @TheSubRise @sspunil @StojanovicNenad @unige_en Day1 of our @unil #SummerSchool @LopotaS - general terms + conditions for achieving democratic stability and a great exercise by @NinGozalishvili on #Disinformation 👏🍾👍

@snf_ch @TheSubRise @sspunil @StojanovicNenad @unige_en @unil @LopotaS @NinGozalishvili @gipaofficial @TbilisiU big thanks also to @Rezitopuria for his #enlightenment re: #bots, #trolls + especially useful #idiots - i've learned a lot!

Day2, morning: the case of #Switzerland & some Dos and Dont's of power-sharing. 🙏 @jivan571051499 for your kind words

@jivan571051499 Incl. my favourite exercise on #crosscuttingness 👉become a canton + successively join your religious, linguistic, and economic camp(s). @mariam_sherozia & @Avlokhashvili_ will tell you more 😇

@jivan571051499 @mariam_sherozia @Avlokhashvili_ Day2, afternoon: Prof. Irine Kurdadze @TbilisiU on the types+categories of #Minorities in Georgia and elsewhere. დიდი მადლობა!
👉though @GovernmentGeo has done a lot, more could be done still...

our very special guest for that session: Madame #Ambassador of Switzerland to Georgia Heidi Grau. merci/danke/grazie per la sua visita 🙏🙏

Finally, another few sessions on the multicultural #history + state #policy re: non-ethnic #Georgians in #Georgia, by Guranda Chelidze @CaucasusUni ...

@CaucasusUni ...#comparisons with other countries and contexts re: institutional mechanisms, processes, + results, by @StojanovicNenad (@UNIGEnews + @snsf_ch) ...
#WhatIsANation #WhatIsAPeople #WhoDecides ???

a very final exercise on solving the 1986 #BerneseJura conundrum: how to fairly but also simply #weigh min & maj votes in a single #majoritarian constituency?

(the real-world answer is by using the #Geometric #Mean, see also our 2019 article in @Ethnopolitics tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… - some students got very close! 🍾)

@Ethnopolitics and then, of course, the mandatory group photo 🤩
