Während die EU wie eine Kartenhaus vor Trumps Zoll-Gegenwind zusammenfiel, hat China sich auf die Spielchen gar nicht erst eingelassen.
Wie erwartet, mit großem Erfolg.
Und jetzt warten wir mal gespannt ab, wie man hier bei der nun offensichtlich veränderten Sicherheitslage zusammenklappen wird.🙈🍿

A key Russian tactic is “razvedka boyem” – reconnaissance through battle – in which an enemy’s weaknesses are discoverd by constant probing. In September, Russian drones over Poland shut airports, inadvertantly revealing an easy way of wreaking chaos. Dozens of sightings have been reported since.

Russia’s tactics make its campaign challenging to combat. Agents are typically recruited online, have no links to Russia and are run by intermediaries. They are mobile, motivated by money and entirely dispensable. Analysts have dubbed this set-up the “gig economy” of Russian spycraft.

Russian attacks in Europe are, by nature, scattergun and hard to track. But the scale is now such that analysts believe the escalation is strategic rather than opportunistic, designed to trigger public fear and policy paralysis. The attacks are a test of Europe’s mettle – and Russia is taking notes.

Bombs on train tracks. Arson attacks on malls. Poisoned water supplies. These are just some of the recently foiled plots in Russia’s growing campaign of aggression across Europe. What was once a mere nuisance has escalated into a serious threat.

We show that the revolutionary overhaul in inheritance laws in 1793 was a key driver of France's early fertility decline.
In dismantling the Ancien Régime, the revolutionaries inadvertently triggered the world's first fertility transition, at least half a century ahead of any other country.

We measure fertility at the individual level before and after the Revolution using the Henry survey and large-scale online genealogies from www.geni.com.
Our empirical strategy combines a DiD with a spatial RD around inheritance regime borders.

One of the big puzzles in history is why the first demographic transition began in France, as early as 1789.
With Paula Gobbi and Marc Goñi, we show that a key driver was the French Revolution and its inheritance reforms.
