The Military and Competitive Sports
I missed my last post, but thankfully I'm on top of this week's edition. Kyleanne Hunter and Oliver Kaplan have a piece at Political Violence @ a Glance discussing some of the military roots of the biathlon. I've never known... Continue reading

How Do You Review?
I’ve been sending articles out for review for a few years now, and I’ve also had the opportunity to review several papers for journals. Having been through each side of the ordeal, I’ve begun to form some opinions on the... Continue reading

Political Science and Scientists in the News
Just a quick link to this Atlantic article. It features several works by political scientists on why and when the public is likely to support military action. Complete with graphs and everything. *Picture taken from the aforementioned and linked Atlantic... Continue reading

Follow-up
Just a quick follow-up to yesterday's post. Chad sent me a link to this paper that was recently posted on AJPS' early view. I've not read the entire article yet, but it seems apropos given the subject matter of yesterday's... Continue reading

History vs. Political Science? Temporally Constrained Studies and Generalizability.
So this is my first post back from a prolonged break. As I mentioned in a previous—albeit brief—entry, I’ve had a busy but enjoyable summer. I got married, defended my dissertation at the beginning of July, and my wife and... Continue reading

Update
Just a quick update. Three months ago I said we would resume posting later in the spring. Naturally, deadlines are made to be pushed back. It's been a pretty big and glorious summer, though, so I hope our reader(s) will... Continue reading

Via Jennifer Diascro's Twitter feed: The Economist has an article up addressing the specific targeting of Political Science Research by Senator Coburn. The article addresses a point that I've brought up a couple of times in the past (see here... Continue reading

Tom Coburn's Grudge
So I'm a little late getting to this, but Tom Coburn is at it again—more successfully this time, it appears. The short version is that Coburn was able to get an amendment through that prohibits the National Science Foundation from... Continue reading

Good call.
Commented Mar 19, 2013 on Spring Cleaning at The Quantitative Peace
Spring Cleaning
Just a quick update. We're all hoping to resume posting more regularly later in the spring. Until that time, the impending death of Google Reader has prompted us to make a few changes that we wanted to make everyone aware of. Although there are other RSS feed readers out there, it may be easier ...

Links Galore
It's been a while since my last post, so I thought it was time to put up at least a little something: Senate Republicans are, for the moment, blocking Chuck Hagel's nomination as Defense Secretary. Admittedly, my attention to current... Continue reading

Quick Plug on New Pubs (Shameless partial self-promotion edition)
A bit of shameless self-promotion before the holidays. The kind folks at International Studies Quarterly have put a new article by Colin Barry, Chad Clay, and myself up on early view. The link to the article, entitled "Avoiding the Spotlight:... Continue reading

Quick Plug on New Pubs
Just some quick and dirty near-self-promotion. Michael Allen (Boise State) and Matthew DiGiuseppie (University of Mississippi)—both of whom are proud, card-carrying Binghamton PhDs—have a new piece on credit and alliance formation that is now available on International Studies Quarterly's early...

Bureaucratic Politics, Interservice Rivalries, and The Galactic Empire
The fact that this post follows so closely on the heels of my recent post regarding the sparseness of posts over the next couple of months should in no way be taken as negating my previous point. That said, Steve... Continue reading

Posting Will Be Sparse...
Obviously posting has been a bit sparse for the last month or two, and it will likely continue in this fashion throughout the remainder of the fall semester. While we are currently running on silent, this should only be temporary.... Continue reading
