In the wide world:
- Taylor Fravel lets us know about China’s surveillance fleet’s op tempo (learn more about the China Marine Surveillance) and the role of cell phone service in territorial disputes
- Thane Gustafson talks about Russia’s oil infrastructure
- Handy capsule history of the international oil market
Closer to home:
- From A Quantitative Peace, an examination of bipartisan appointments to the cabinet and sub cabinet (Would the idea of a “bipartisan” appointment to a cabinet ministry ever occur to someone in a Westminster government, aside from “national unity” movements?)
- Congress more popular than Communism, less popular than cockroaches
In the discipline:
- Richard Ben Cramer: obituary and links
- An argument against quant hegemony in economics, worth it for the term “super-duper regression”
- Presumably Mark Mazower is learning that dismissing IR theory entirely does not endear you to IR reviewers: Ikenberry at Foreign Affairs, Voeten at The Monkey Cage, Amazon link to Governing the World
- BLTN: ZIP code + date of birth + gender = impossible anonymization
And also:
- Helvetica and the New York subway system: the definitive history
