At the ECPR General Conference (Wroclaw, September 4–7, 2019), I presented this co-authored paper with Daniel Bochsler examining how institutional legacies — particularly those from the Soviet era — shape elite bargaining over the scope and design of ethnic territorial autonomy. We drew on evidence from former Soviet societies to show how inherited institutional frameworks constrain and channel negotiations over minority self-rule.
