@mariarostrublee.bsky.social highlights that for countries like 🇰🇷 and 🇦🇺, adherence to #nonproliferation norms is a catalyst for, rather than a constraint on, national power, advocating for a partnership between Seoul and Canberra to champion the peaceful and responsible use of nuclear technology.

We invited experts to respond to ROK FM Cho's argument that non-proliferation is "a strategic imperative." They agreed on the goal but challenged Seoul to do more to back it up. Jun Bonggeun, Maria Rost Rublee, and Toby Dalton respond: www.apln.network/analysis/the...

“Regional political and diplomatic fallout from resumed U.S. nuclear testing would be significant. The global norm against nuclear testing — violated in the past 20 years only by North Korea — would be weakened, making it easier for other states to restart their nuclear tests.”

When people ask me why I don't care about my h-index, citations, etc., I point out that racism means that's a losing game. Cause this ain't just in economics. www.nber.org/papers/w33150

Screenshot of the article. Title: The Color of Ideas: Racial Dynamics and Citations in Economics. Authors: Marlene Koffi, Roland Pongou, and Leonard Wantchekon. NBER Working Paper No. 33150. Published November 2024. JEL No. A14, I23, J15. Abstract reads: This paper investigates the existence of racial disparities in the dissemination of ideas using the paper citation network in economics. Exploiting a comprehensive dataset of over 330,000 publications from 1950 to 2021, combined with manually collected data from the CVs of thousands of economists, we document that papers authored by non-White scholars (Black, Hispanic, or Asian) receive 5.1% to 9.6% fewer citations than those authored by White scholars. The citation gap remains or even amplifies with increasing author seniority and conventional quality indicators and is especially pronounced for Black authors. Moreover, papers authored by non-White scholars are less likely to serve as citation bridges and are less often cited by highly cited papers as measured by the centrality indexes, limiting both their direct and indirect influence. Our analysis indicates that this disparity is not attributable to differences in research quality, author ability, or visibility. Rather, it is largely driven by homophily in citation patterns and racial clusters in networks, where scholars tend to cite authors from their racial group. These findings can be rationalized by a simple theoretical model where citation costs and peer-review preferences influence citation behavior. Then, we provide suggestive evidence that reducing information friction—thereby lowering the cost of citing—could reduce the racial citation gap by up to 50%. Finally, using natural language processing, we highlight the complementarity across racial groups in research and discuss potential losses from racial barriers to idea diffusion.
