Domestic Distributional Roots of National Interest

Domestic Distributional Roots of National Interest By Soyoung Lee, Yale University and Duke University. What international issues become national interests worth fighting for, and why? Contrary to conventional wisdom, I argue that issues without clear economic value, such as barren lands, are more likely to be perceived as national interests because they do not benefit any single domestic group.

🥳 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!

Happy 8th anniversary to the best April Fool's joke @dadakim.bsky.social & I ever pulled off!

Weary professors give up, concede that Africa is a country

As of April 1, we’re done.

Really interesting question! I'm wondering if there's some efficiency element baked into the distinction? As in, "successful coordination" is a subset of path-dependencies that are efficient/ optimal (Ex. meeting in the Central station is successful coordination but Qwerty is path-dependent? 🤷‍♀️)

Oh wow. That sounds even more serious

Soyoung Lee @soyounglee.bsky.social · Dec 17

Is it difficult as in the government won’t let you ask them or as in people won’t answer? If it’s the latter I feel like it’s happening in South Korea too 🙁
