Dear RC13 Members.

As part of the celebrations of its 75th anniversary in 2024, IPSA began to organise a new type of conference, i.e. Work in Progress Sessions (WIPS) to offer IPSA individual members a unique global opportunity to present and discuss in depth their research in-progress.

I am happy to inform you that our RC13 organised together with RC34 Quality of Democracy the panel "Democratic Resilience and Resistance to Autocratisation" within the first WIPS conference, which took place on 4-6 December 2024. Six papers were presented and discussed in two very interesting sessions. The link to the list of WIPS panels and the panel photo are attached below.
