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!

Can small powers set the #UN agenda? @sabrinabarias.bsky.social assembled a #dataset of proposed agenda items & the tenure of small states' #ambassadors from 1946 to 2018 to support her argument that they can. Have a read of her article in the July issue: doi.org/10.1353/wp.2... #research #evidence

I have a short (~10min) survey on diplomacy that I need student participation for ASAP (the study has been IRB exempted). If you could share with students at your institution, I would really appreciate it- lmk if you'd like more info! Link: upenn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

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!

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".
