Have you ever wondered about what we know about the broad patterns, the causes, and the consequences of contestation of IOs? We – @jonastallberg.bsky.social, Michael Zürn and I – did and therefore set out to take stock of the state of the art. Our review is out now in @iojournal.bsky.social.

New from @mnagawa.bsky.social sky.social (@stanfordcddrl.bsky.social) examines how aid affects recipient governments. Using evidence from >600 officials in Uganda, she finds that better-funded donor projects divert bureaucratic effort away from core functions and leave departments more divided.

It is bellicist theory audited at the level of the ledger book using a design equal to the difficulty of its own data. The committee chose this article because it exposes a blind spot in a major theory of the state by asking, plainly and inconveniently, for whom.” Congrats!!! [4/4]

Can foreign donors use their leverage to reduce violence against civilians or displacement in civil wars? Jessica Sun finds when donors struggle to balance protecting civilians and avoiding large refugee flows, their goals may be undermined by strategic government violence.

This article shows that which problem dominates—and whether deterrence works—depends on the great powers that lead large status quo coalitions. They show that (a) increasing great power strength increases deterrence even as free-riding worse....[2/3]

(b) great power dominance shapes whether size and total strength helps or harms deterrence, and (c) increasing uncertainty over a great power’s commitment can increase or decrease deterrence, depending on the strength of its prior commitment. [3/3]

Now on #firstview: The electoral effects of the China shock depend on who gets hit. When white workers face greater import competition than Black workers in the same local labor market, anti-Black animus rises — and so does Republican presidential vote share. @ericaowen.bsky.social

The answer depends on both domestic politics and international relationships. When the White House and Congress are aligned, the U.S. rewards allied countries through bilateral aid. When government is divided, the U.S. is more likely to rely on the World Bank to influence non-allied countries. [2/3]

@cbrandt.bsky.social and Jenniina Kotajoki's study of naming and shaming non-state armed groups finds that nearly half of all condemnations at the UN Security Council target them (rather than other states)—and states shame them for very different strategic reasons. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This @iojournal.bsky.social article from @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social et al. is one of the most important recent pieces on corruption, American politics, and democratic backsliding. It is an empirical research note, but I think its theoretical implications are much bigger. 1/n🧵
