María José Urzúa @majourzua, Gino Pauselli @ginopauselli y Montal escriben sobre la importancia de la información que las ONG locales aportan a las organizaciones internacionales como la OEA.
¡Recomiendo! ✅

Hoy publicamos artículo en el @BJPolS: ¿cuándo critican las organizaciones internacionales a los Estados? Cuando confían en su información. Con datos de la @CIDH (1996-2020), mostramos que los lazos con ONGs locales aumentan y endurecen los comunicados críticos. Acceso abierto:
New (open access) paper in @BJPolS with Florencia Montal and @majourzua: "Critical Ties: How NGOs Become Reliable Information Suppliers to International Organizations." When do IOs publicly criticize states? It depends on who they can credibly listen to. 🧵

We implement an instrumental variable design, use text analysis, and trace the mechanism through interviews and the Commission's response to the 2023 protests in Jujuy, Argentina.
Our research as implications for current democratic backsliding: if criticism travels through trusted local ties, the states that close civic space may be the ones IOs are least equipped to criticize.

New publication @nws_journal, with Jared Edgerton and @ceciliacaveros: is the international human rights regime consolidating or fragmenting? Our answer is that it depends on the issue, and we propose a way to measure where the divisions are. 🧵
Year doesn't predict fragmentation under either coding scheme, so we see no trend over time. The picture is one of selective contestation, concentrated in the issue areas where coalition-building at the Human Rights Council is hardest.
The paper is open access! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
The topic-year modularity estimates could also serve as outcomes for work on geopolitical shocks or institutional reform.
Our new paper, "Trust or Fortify? Border Walls in International Relations," co-authored with Mike Kenwick and Beth Simmons, is out today in @ISQ_Jrnl! We ask: why do states choose to go it alone and build border walls? 🧵👇

The spatial choices of where to wall are revealing of strategic decisions. Distrustful neighbors build walls defensively in areas where the neighboring state has the highest capacity to interfere.
