Natalie Letsa’s work focuses on public opinion and political behavior in authoritarian regimes, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. She is also interested in macro-issues of regime stability and legitimization in non-democratic and transitioning regimes. Her new work explores the effect of historical legacies on contemporary political beliefs and behavior on the continent, particularly the legacies of colonial rule.
