After three years, I've wrapped up my rotation as a Program Director for the Security & Preparedness program at NSF and returned to the faculty at UNC Charlotte. Grateful to my NSF colleagues — especially in SBE — and to everyone who served as a panelist or reviewer.

Does "Robbery-Homicide" mean "robbery OR homicide" or "robbery AND homicide"? That's the question.

Sorry, but it's a populism movie. Elites are ineffective (FBI) or bad ("terrorists" in Saville Row suits). The media is corrupt. Only a (male) hero with common sense and grit to save us.

Public Support for Power Grabs after Civil Conflict
Power-sharing is a recognized strategy for reaching durable settlements among rivals. However, power-sharing arrangements are often violated when one side grabs power. We examine public perceptions...

📚 Contributing to the literature on post-conflict stability, this research underscores the complexities of public support for power-sharing arrangements and the impact of wartime experiences on these perceptions

James Igoe Walsh @jamesigoewalsh.com · 23/05/2024
We find, as expected, that resident prefer power grabs by local forces, which we define as the ingroup. However, people who were victimized during conflict prefer power sharing by BOTH the ingroup and outgroup. We explain this as a preference for stability and desire to avoid re-victimization

Our hope is that researchers interested in the origins, structure, strategic environment, territorial control, resources etc. of rebel groups can investigate how these characteristics influence rebel human rights behavior

Interesting idea! This might work well if we use ISO codes as the numbers. I can see how it would save time down the road. Thanks for the tip

We test this idea with a survey experiment among IDPs in Nigeria. Those exposed to credible sources of info are more likely to say they would return home, BUT this declines as symptoms of posttraumatic stress increase
