What kinds of environmental plans do local policymakers support? In Perspectives on Politics, @sabrinabarias.bsky.social and CMIST's @joshschwartz.bsky.social demonstrate that the probability of policy adoption can be increased by strategic design. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

It's been 6 years (!) in the making, but I'm happy to share a new piece in @poppublicsphere.bsky.social w/ @sabrinabarias.bsky.social. Since federal efforts to combat climate change have been reversed, we evaluate the kinds of environmental plans *local* policymakers support doi.org/10.1017/S153...

My job market paper is now out in World Politics! Why do some small states excel in IO politics, when conventional theory tells us that powerful states should dominate? I argue and show that small state diplomats outperform their peers from wealthy, powerful states because they are more experienced!

As President Trump withdraws the US from intl agreements - including the Paris Agreement and WHO - Lotem Bassan-Nygate and I ask how this affects public opinion towards cooperation? We descibe our recent findings in @goodauth.bsky.social : tinyurl.com/goodauth @harvardkennedy.bsky.social 1/4

When Trump withdraws from global agreements, will the public follow?

When Trump withdraws from global agreements, will the public follow? New evidence shows that Trump’s actions can change minds, but there are limits.

As the US steps back from leading in global governance institutions, China has increasingly stepped into leadership roles, serving as head of WHO, FAO, and other important UN agencies in recent years. In new (open access!) work with @rhulvey.bsky.social in @the-peio.bsky.social we ask: why? 1/5

Does your department have a policy about how much co-authored vs. solo-authored work count towards T&P? Is it a formal or informal rule? If you could share this info with me (will remain anonymous!) I am trying to get a sense of whether there are clear norms across the field about this!

Are you hoping to hold a book workshop for a (nearly) complete manuscript, but don't have access to institutional funds? Our department has an open call for applications for a book workshop to be hosted here at Lehigh! ir.cas.lehigh.edu/textor-manus...

Surely this will never happen to me again, but I had TWO papers come out yesterday! In @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social, I introduce a new corpus of all 17,324 UNGA & UNSC resolutions from 1946-2018. Users will have searchable resolution texts, but also key metadata: citations, topics & reuse. 1/5

New record: 24 referee invitations on a single ms, with only one accepted. And this is for a "big name journal". If you submit manuscripts, you must review manuscripts. How many? See formula below. (Yes, resubmissions and revisions count in the number of submissions.)

$The number of reviews you owe science this year is greater than or equal to the sum, over your submissions this year (indexed by "i"), of the product of (1) your fractional contribution to submission "i", and (2) the number of reviews you received on submission "i".$
