Research-based learning adopts a “learning-by-doing” approach toward teaching research. This article documents the experience of publishing a coauthored article with undergraduate students that grew out of a research-based–learning course at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany. In particular, I reflect on the opportunities and challenges of engaging undergraduate students in research. The article demonstrates that research-based–learning courses must maintain a balance between the research process and research output. Too much focus on output overlooks students’ need to gain substantive knowledge, and the exclusive emphasis on the research process might reduce their motivation. Generally, students appreciate the autonomy and horizontality of relationships in research-based learning. Furthermore, the article shows that the knowledge and skills gained by students through research-based–learning courses facilitate their engagement in follow-up research projects, thereby paving the way for publishing research.

“…After completion of the course, four students volunteered to continue and expand on the research already accomplished to get it published in an academic journal. The result is a coauthored review article that was published in Government and Opposition that synthesized the power-sharing literature (Farag et al 2022).…”

“…Ethnic power-sharing practices encompass a variety of formal and informal arrangements designed to ensure that major ethnic groups in a divided society are granted some level of participation and representation in decision-making (McCulloch, 2017a). 2 Such arrangements are intended to facilitate democratic governance and ameliorate ethnoreligious conflict or the prospect of civil war (Bormann et al, 2019: 85; Norris, 2008), although evidence of the effectiveness of these arrangements has been mixed (see review in Farag et al, 2022). Not all agree that ethnic power sharing helps to foster democratic governance in pluralistic societies; in many cases, it is made possible only by limiting democratic rights, since it prioritizes elite consensus, and power-sharing agreements often limit electoral competition and full participation by citizens to ensure the agreement's stability (Bochsler and Juon, 2021; Bogaards, 2006).…”

Challenges of Ethnic Party Adaptation in Power-Sharing Systems: Evidence from Malaysia

In authoritarian systems, ethnic power-sharing arrangements include important ethnic groups in government and decision-making while putting restraints on political competition. However, under conditions of democratization, we might expect power-sharing arrangements to fragment as political parties seize opportunities to expand their base and appeal across ethnic lines. This article draws from the case of Malaysia, where multiethnic coalitions built around ethnic parties ruled for 61 years but where increasing electoral competitiveness has destabilized coalition politics. I focus on the Democratic Action Party (DAP), one of the country's most successful parties, which has sought to build a more multiethnic support base. I show that its attempts have been stymied by enduring norms of ethnically informed coalition building and efforts to protect existing ethnic bases by both rivals and allies. The findings shed light on the barriers to ethnic party adaptation and on why power-sharing practices remain so enduring, even in more fluid and democratic political environments.

Следует отметить, что в последние пару десятилетий наблюдается бум исследований по разным аспектам power-sharing (Farag et al, 2022), значительная часть из них представляет количественные исследования, и это явно стимулировало создание баз данных по этой тематике.…”

Sociocultural, economic, geographical and other heterogeneity of states in a cross-territorial sense is often politicized and results in the rise of self-determination movements and political-territorial conflicts. In search of an answer to the question of which ways of managing political-territorial diversity are more effective, quantitative large-N comparative studies are being conducted by many scholars. These studies require the systematization and integration of large amounts of information on various aspects of the problem: the characteristics of conflicts, movements for self-determination, state policies on conflict management. This ambitious task is not yet fully solved, and the paper presents an overview of several databases that can become the basis for such integration, showing their strengths and limitations, opportunities and difficulties of integration. The main problem with this approach is likely to be that different data sets are based on different units of observation: conflicts, ethnic groups, countries, separate regions, etc. Moreover, even with the same units of observation, dissimilar criteria are used to include them in the dataset. In some datasets, there is a selection bias, which also impedes data integration.
