For today's spotlight on #PartnershipLessons 🤝
EGAP's @jakewbowers & @MSWinters1 together with @IPORMalawi assess the effect of incentives and information about public good provision on local attitudes that form barriers to tax collection. buff.ly/HbRUvZQ
Congratulations to Paul Un (@UnPhal), who successfully defended his dissertation "The Political Economy of Foreign Aid from the Recipient Perspective: Evidence from Cambodia" at @IllinoisPolSci today.

The Journal of Political Science Education just retracted an article over references that could not be located and other citation errors.

Visto che si parla delle "elezioni" russe, vale la pena ricordare che falsificano così tanti voti che si vede persino in un grafico (ogni punto è una sezione: con dati veri sarebbe una nuvola, qui invece c'è una griglia sui numeri che finiscono per 0 o 5, perché chi inventa i risultati sceglie cifre tonde)

My new paper with Do Young Gong is out in JCR! What happens when rebellion is financed by drugs? We find that drug-financed rebels face barriers to peace: they are 34% less likely to enter into peace talks and 6x more likely to splinter once talks begin. doi.org/10.1177/002200272614…
Axel’s thoughts on academic publishing are very much worth your time and consideration!

New RIO (@The_PEIO) editor: Christopher Kilby
After more than 20 years as editor of the Review of International Organizations, I'm stepping back from new submissions.
As of today, Christopher will take over. I will continue with resubmissions for papers I originally handled.
I encountered a copy of Persistent Citizens out in the wild at the @CUP_PoliSci booth at #apsa2026. Thanks to the kind soul who had already purchased it just to make me feel good.

It looks like Political Science Rumors has been deactivated.
Good riddance.

New publication is out in @ISQ_Jrnl! In the paper, I explore how states bargain over foreign aid when donors are uncertain about recipients’ policy preferences. Link below ⬇️
