🚨New Cambridge Element🚨 'Heuristic Inference and the Left-Right' by Seonghui Lee, Lie Philip Santoso and Randolph Stevenson, out now and #OpenAccess https://cup.org/4oRpcIY

Great discussion yesterday about the Accommodation Dilemma Framework at the #EPSS2026 "Responding to Non-Cooperation in International Relations" Agenda-Setting panel with @lisadellmuth.bsky.social @fgenovese.bsky.social sky.social, Bernhard Reinsberg, @smetanamichal.bsky.social (and myself).

Non-cooperation is a regular feature of international politics, but research on its various forms is fragmented across IR subfields. Our agenda-setting panel proposes and discusses a more unified framework for studying how actors respond to non-cooperation. Overview paper: shorturl.at/HbIvU

I am very much looking forward to chairing the panel on "Responding to Non-Cooperation in International Relations" at #EPSS2026! Together with an excellent group of colleagues, we will discuss a research agenda for studying responses to non-cooperation in #InternationalRelations! Join us! #Polisky
