Now on #FirstView, from @jaylyall.bsky.social & Yuri Zhukov #Ukraine #polisky #conflictsky 10.1017/S002081832400033X

Now on #FirstView, from Stacie Goddard & @colleen-larkin.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Thrilled to see this article out in world! A summary thread... "Threat perception" gets thrown around a lot in IR - so much that it doesn't really have a clear meaning. But many of us think it's important for understanding war, coercion, crises, etc. So what do we do? I argue 🧠s can help 1/n

In this @cartercenter.bsky.social podcast, @meicensun.bsky.social discusses her recent IO article: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... uscnpm.substack.com/p/damocless-...

The @dandrezner.bsky.social list of Albies includes two IO articles: 1. Wilfred Chow and Dov Levin, The Diplomacy of Whataboutism and US Foreign Policy Attitudes

Matthias Ecker-Ehrhardt, @lisadellmuth.bsky.social‬, and Jonas Tallberg show that people view IOs as #ideological actors and accord IOs greater #legitimacy when they perceive these organizations as ideologically closer. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

What can neuroscience do for IR? Using data from 500+ fMRI studies, @mlandauwells.bsky.social shows how brain data improves our understanding of threat perception and offers new insights into its effects on conflict and coercion. #polisci #polisky #conflictsky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

New @iojournal.bsky.social is a must read for those studying threats, conflict, etc. It epitomizes how we can learn from other fields to enhance our understanding of political science. Congratulations @mlandauwells.bsky.social on an impressive contribution. doi.org/10.1017/S002...

New paper in @iojournal.bsky.social uses data from numerous countries to examine public perceptions of IO’s ideology and how those perceptions moderate the legitimacy of IOs. Congrats to @lisadellmuth.bsky.social, Tallberg, and Ecker-Ehrhardt on a great article. doi.org/10.1017/S002...

Super interesting work at the intersection of tech, secrecy, and bureaucratic politics

#FirstView: UCSDPoliSci's Michael Joseph and Michael Poznansky ask why some of the most radical innovations of the last century came from orgs shrouded in secrecy. The findings have important implications for debates about tech, innovation, and US-China rivalry. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Gendered selection into leadership can explain why some female leaders fight harder than male leaders in inter-group contests. Their decisions reflect their preferences, not just stereotyping pressures. New from Stephen Chaudoin, Sarah Hummel & Yon Soo Park. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

How does education affect support for trade openness? Omer Solodoch leverages compulsory schooling reforms in 18 countries to find out (spoiler: education >>> support for trade liberalization). www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My new piece w/Wilfred Chow “The Diplomacy of Whataboutism and US Foreign Policy Attitudes” Now out @iojournal.bsky.social. We study effects of whataboutism in int. arena & find it weakens U.S. public support for critiquing & penalizing foreign countries. #polisky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

IO now welcomes -- in addition to research articles and research notes --a new type of submission, "essays." Essays have a 10,000 word limit. They propose innovative ideas of interest to a broad audience of IR scholars. For more info on the essay format, please visit cambridge.org/core/journal...

As @jkertzer.bsky.social summarizes his new article, "Where advisers stand doesn't just depend on where they sit."

Happy to share that my article "The Underside of Order: Race in the Constitution of International Order" is now out in @iojournal.bsky.social. In it I argue that processes of racialization are central to the constitution of international order in modernity.

I'm excited to teach trade using data from Africa by assigning my new paper with Helen Milner at @iojournal.bsky.social. Both Afrobarometer and original survey data from 🇬🇭 & 🇺🇬 are highly consistent with factor endowment models – arguably more consistent than data from 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺 have been. 👇

Am a big fan of this new (and unfortunately timely) @iojournal.bsky.social article by WUSTL's @carlynwayne.bsky.social. Terrorism doesn't make people afraid. It makes them angry, which is why we end up with cycles of violence. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
