Strongly correlated with the presence of the Deftones in popular culture. Everything will change if there's a White Stripes/The Strokes revival.

The bureaucratic/intragovernmental level of analysis is one of the least developed in the study of foreign policy & conflict studies, despite Allison's famous book Essence of Decision. Jost's work makes a new case that the way national security institutions operate has a big impact on war and peace.

Very important point that doesn't seem to stick despite being made by Schweller and Glaser, as well as Wagner in the best book that few IR scholars seem to have read - War and the State.

It's a very funny article, confirming that Wendt wasn't really going to make a big academic contribution to IR again, and saying the quiet part out loud that there's an affinity between critical theory and really fringe counterculture Fortean ideas.

But, their qualitative investigation raises additional complications! Interviewees report increased tensions within the Group of 77 at the UN and a tendency towards drafting lowest-common-denominator resolutions to maintain unity. It's a really interesting and worthwhile contribution.

They find that South-South solidarity hasn't just persisted in terms of their chosen quantitative measure at the United Nations General Assembly despite the economic development of some Global South states, but that economic development seems to increase a state's alignment with the Global South.

Great Leeds band. Blackbirds Fall is standout.

We discussed inconsistencies in the foreign policies of all states and within both the N & S, the relationship between historical experiences & contemporary foreign policy positions, the different idioms through which Global South states register dissatisfaction. Thanks all who participated.
