I don’t have an article, but I covered Brexit as the UK correspondent for a Danish financial newspaper - not sure that is helpful for a lit review but let me know if I can help with anything
“Pawsitive feedback” alone deserves a like. So does the book of course - it sounds super interesting. Congrats, Brian!
Join us at LSE! 👇
It looks great, thanks for posting! You're on 3,467 now...
This is a really, really good workshop for PhD students and ECRs working on conflict - highly recommended!
Sounds great! Also, if you want a chat about PhDs, feel free to drop by when you’re around LSE
Halloween update 🎃👻: NEW PAPER ALERT 👻🎃: want to learn about how recent findings in HPE are challenging our priors about the origins of state capacity? Here is my Annual Reviews on *Endogenous State Capacity*: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
I keep trying to convince people to come over here from the dark place because here is better and nicer and not owned by Musk, but let's be honest, the real joy of logging in to Bluesky is the chance that one of @carlbergstrom.com's crows will make an appearance somewhere in the feed!
If you're working on issues of diversity (any kind) and military effectiveness, including adjacent fields like peacekeeping or policing, but haven't published it yet, please drop me a note. I'm working on something now & would like to have the most up-to-date work cited. Thanks! Please re-skeet

At Any Cost: How Ukrainians Think about Self-Defense Against Russia
How do Ukrainians think about self-defense against Russia? In a new paper out in the AJPS, @janinadill.bsky.social, Marnie Howlett and I find through a conjoint experiment that they are categorically against major concessions, even at very high costs of self-defense doi.org/10.1111/ajps... (1/6)
The great escape continues! @oscarn.bsky.social and @mealkhowaiter.bsky.social from LSE Government have joined us at Polisky
(PS: tell your daughter that her conference looks awesome too)
It was a very nice panel and good feedback, but disappointed I didn’t quite get this reaction:
I love how the arms of many in the audience seems to show a great deal of enthusiasm for what is being presented
Great, thanks a lot for the link!
Thanks a lot for doing this! Liked and pinned! We should consider a Southeast Asia subfeed as well (if there are enough of us on PoliSky yet?)
Introducing Conflictsky, a new feed for political conflict and violence!
Like and pin the feed here:
bsky.app/profile/did:...
To post, tag with 'conflictsky' or 'violencesky'
It's a polisky sub-feed, so request to join that list if you haven't already: www.paulmusgrave.info/how-to-use-p...
It will be a nightmare of wrongly tagged posts if someone actually makes the polski list!
Honest question: Was I the only one who logged on to this thing yesterday and took embarrassing long to realise that people talking about Polisky and Dictatorsky wasn't just some inside joke about drunken Russian accents?
Fantastic! Please add me!
Since we are all doing introductions:
Hi Polisky, I'm Rune. I study how the varieties of civil war onsets have different causes and dynamics using mixed methods - mostly with focus on Southeast Asia. I'm a PhD candidate at LSE Government and will likely be on the job market within a year or so
@profmusgrave.bsky.social could I, too, be added to Polisky before you get overwhelmed, please?
So in an effort to concentrate on finishing my dissertation, I decided that another feed was the solution! It looks great so far!
