Join us for a seminar with Sheena Chestnut Greitens, associate professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas-Austin, where she will present her groundbreaking paper, “Authoritarian Audiences: Theory and Evidence for Subnational Propaganda Targeting in North Korea.”

Drawing on an original dataset of visual and textual propaganda collected on the ground inside North Korea, this paper argues that authoritarian regimes engage in subnational propaganda targeting, tailoring messages differently to elite versus mass audiences in pursuit of political survival.

This public lecture series is organized by the Korea-Pacific Program at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. For more information on program activities, please visit gps.ucsd.edu/kpp.
