Research ethics and state power: access vs integrity in the study of armed actors
ABSTRACT In the study of armed actors, the state poses significant – yet often unrecognised – ethical challenges for researchers. This article provides a framework for researchers to pro-actively manage their relationships with the state. First, we show how the state affects the ethics of research on armed actors. Then we illustrate the danger of ignoring, discounting, or misreading the state, both at home and abroad.

COVID-19 unemployment stigma is real and could threaten future job prospects

Perceptions of pandemic resume gaps: Survey experimental evidence from the United States
Survey instrument and experimental setup The survey began with questions about the respondents’ demographic characteristics, professional backgrounds and work histories, political and social views, and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Next, in the experimental module, respondents read two vignettes about different hiring scenarios (SI Table 1 in S1 File). The first vignette asked respondents to select a new server for a restaurant in their town or city.
Congress passed an important anti-lynching bill. But the U.S. is still fertile ground for vigilantes.

(Paul Sancya/AP) Earlier this week, the Senate passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act - roughly two weeks after the vigilante killers of Ahmaud Arbery were convicted of a hate crime. Yet at the same time, Americans continue to take the law into their own hands. Militia activity is surging, and "stand your ground" laws are increasingly common.
The “Freedom Convoy” Was Never Just a Protest
Politics It’s an armed occupation of a G-7 capital. Big rigs form a blockade near the parliament building in Ottawa, Ontario, on Wednesday. Scott Olson/Getty Images Since the big rigs rolled into Ottawa, Ontario, in late January, the Canadian truckers’ occupation has captured the world’s attention. And how could it not? Entering the “red zone,” as the convoy-controlled territory is known, is otherworldly.
Bateson: Truck convoy — why this weekend may be much more dangerous than last
The protesters are better organized, they'll be joined by fresh recruits, and there are counter-protests planned. It's a volatile mix, in which residents face heightened risks. Protests continue in downtown Ottawa, with more demonstrators expected to arrive on the weekend. jpg Article content After a week of hate speech, harassment and intimidation, many Ottawans are desperate for a little peace and quiet. Yet there are worrying signs of more trouble on the horizon.
The 2016 Election and America’s Standing Abroad: Quasi-Experimental Evidence of a Trump Effect
Abstract Global favorability toward the United States declined by more than 10 percentage points from 2016 to 2017. This shift coincided with the end of the Obama administration and the inauguration of Donald Trump—but did Trump’s election cause America’s standing abroad to erode? Leveraging a natural experiment, we show that Trump’s victory had an immediate, negative effect on international public opinion toward the United States.
White male candidates viewed as more electable than women and Black men
When Americans voted this fall, the candidates on their ballots did not reflect the diversity of the United States. Despite recent gains, women and people of color still do not run for office as frequently as white men. In part, this is because they face skepticism about their electability. When Katie Hill launched her successful 2018 campaign for Congress, for example, fellow Democrats told her a woman couldn't win in her California district.

OPINION: How 'strategic' bias holds back women and candidates of color
Black primary voters said they saw promise in Kamala Harris' run for the Democratic nomination, but they held back support because they were worried about her electability, writes Regina Bateson. Bateson sought the Democratic nomination for a northern California congressional seat in 2018 and is now a visiting professor of law and public affairs at the University of Ottawa. When Americans voted this fall, the candidates on their ballots did not reflect the diversity of the United States.

Do race and gender really affect who looks like a winner?
When Americans go to the polls on November 3, they will either re-elect United States President Donald Trump or vote in the Democratic nominee, former vice-president Joe Biden. Throughout the Democratic presidential primary, Biden supporters argued that he would be especially competitive against Trump because of his race and gender. Meanwhile, Democratic primary voters’ focus on “electability” posed challenges for the female and Black contenders for the Democratic nomination.

Strategic Discrimination
When women and people of color run for office in the United States, they do well.
Analysis | Joe Biden isn’t the only ‘electable’ candidate. Here’s what Democratic primary voters are thinking — and how to change it.
Despite their party’s internal divisions, Democrats agree on one thing: They want to find a presidential nominee who can beat Donald Trump in 2020. Many Democratic primary voters say they care about electability above all else, including policy positions and ideology. Some candidates have spent months trying to cure the Democratic Party of this “electability fever.” Not Joe Biden. The former vice president has leaned into it, embracing electability as his campaign’s prime rationale.
Trump’s Latest Populist Ruse: Cutting Aid To Central America

McClintock says he’s conservative, but his tax plan just worsens the deficit and hurts the economy
In a recent op-ed, “If it’s going to hurt Californians, delay some of the tax plan” (Nov. 11, Forum), Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove, supports massive corporate tax cuts, accompanied by reductions of 1-1.35 percentage points in individual tax rates across the board, without regard for income. McClintock calls himself a fiscal conservative, but his tax plan is fiscally irresponsible. It would increase our national debt while worsening income inequality, harming economic growth in the long run.
Shit Happens: When Equilibrium Theories Meet Non-Equilibrium Outcomes
Note: This post was filed last Thursday, before the attempted coup in Turkey unfolded. The event referred to in the introduction is not/was not at all related to the coup. Recently, I was asked by a group of policymakers to envision a scenario in which something bad would happen. This bad thing is (thankfully) rare in terms of historical precedent but always extremely consequential – hence the interest in foreseeing it. The specifics of outcome are unimportant.
Bridging the Academic-Policymaker Gap in Chile: A Conversation with Foreign Minister Heraldo Muñoz
Discussions on bridging the academic-policymaker gap in international relations usually focus on politics in the U.S. I recently had the chance to get a perspective on the relationship between academics and policymakers in a country other than the U.S. from Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Heraldo Muñoz. I spoke with Minister Muñoz when he came to Denver last week to inaugurate the Josef Korbel School’s Latin America Center suite in the new Anna and John J.
