🥳 My paper is out @iojournal.bsky.social! Two main empirical takeaways: 1. States often don't fight over lands with resources, even when they can claim it for historical reasons. 2. Historical boundaries matter in how states shape their territorial claims. For more, abstract and paper below!

New on #FirstView: are states more likely to claim territories with oil and minerals? Using 200 years of geocoded historical data, @soyounglee37 finds that states are *less* likely to claim such lands. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

..it's quite puzzling when we look at what states and their citizens actually wish to fight over. Often, they're willing to fight over things without clear value (ex. barren lands), while not fighting over issues with clearer value (ex. adjacent lands w/ resources) 2/4

In this paper, I argue that issues *without* specific benefits are easier to sell as national causes worth fighting for. Because such issues are less associated with specific domestic groups, politicians have an easier time framing them as serving broad, general interests. 3/4

You are up to date.
