What are the underlying causes of the Turkish government's actions against Pinar Selek, and what are the broader implications for academic research on sensitive political topics?

The case of Pinar Selek highlights how attacks on academic freedom in illiberal regimes, like Turkey's, are no longer confined to those regimes. The Turkish government's attempt to implicate Université Côte d'Azur demonstrates a broadening strategy to undermine academic research and freedom of expression in liberal democracies. This escalation signifies a growing threat to academic institutions globally.
