Ask yourself, "How does this help answer my research question?"

📰 New research from our editorial team!

How does peacekeepers’ use of force affect their local legitimacy?

@birtegippert.bsky.social finds that both the ends and the means of using force shape how local communities perceive peacekeepers.

At the bottom of the image, the journal’s homepage URL (https://academic.oup.com/jogss) and its Bluesky handle (@journalofgss.bsky.social) appear in white text against a navy-blue background. The main background features a photograph of the MONUSCO gate, framed by barbed wire and stone walls.A small image of the International Affairs journal cover is also included. Overlaid on the background are the article title “All Means Necessary? Local Legitimacy of Peacekeepers' Use of Force for Civilian Protection in Haiti and the DRC” and the author’s name, Birte Julia Gippert.

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived.

I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship.

He sounds stupid.

I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false
