in addition to scholarships, have I mentioned that we will have internships to the best students and fieldwork in the global south?
Interested in spending a year in Barcelona studying international development? We have put together a program focused on applied development. That is: rather than spending too much time discussing theory, we are going to prepare students to work in development for bigger international companies

and we have several scholarships to good students

what Adela Cortina says....sadly
Lo que oculta la ultraderecha fascista es su patológica enfermedad de aporofobia sobre los inmigrantes... ¡Son basura al servicio de las élites económicas...

scary: the logic is that editors will start using AI as well and stop reading the papers they are expected to assess. Is this the final end of peer review? (the Economist has actually talked about that recently)
I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

very interesting work
Striking new work on how gangs shape economic development in El Salvador, Melnikov et al. in Econometrica

Stunted development in gang-controlled territory driven by labor mobility limits: harder to commute/work outside territory, smaller labor mkt, less specialization —>

"Muere un hombre sin hogar en Barcelona en ola de frío..."
Han muerto de frío, sí.
Pero también y sobre todo, de abandono institucional, de falta de recursos adecuados, dignos y suficientes.
De insolidaridad y aporofobia.
Porque no mata el frío, #MataLaCalle
#NadieSinHogar
#PersonasSinHogar
Muere un hombre sin hogar en Barcelona en ola de frío, el segundo en Catalunya en 24 horas
Es la segunda víctima mortal de las bajas temperaturas, después de un hombre que pernoctaba en un párquing de Badalona
