You can download your files from Overleaf and move them to Sublime Text. It requires some adjustments to get everything right (such as packages, etc.), but it’s worth it, assuming you don’t need to share the project with co-authors www.sublimetext.com

New office, new role: I’ve started a new job this summer as an Assistant Prof at Warwick. Now I just need some good books to fill these shelves. Recommendations welcome!

I agree with Charlotte, but I'd add the Max Weber Fellowship to the list. I cannot emphasize how great the programme is (research, networking, quality of life, social life, etc). The deadline is a month before the IAST's fellowship: www.eui.eu/apply?id=max...

In a moment when the narrative has swung so far to the other end, this book by Volha Charnysh is more important than ever.

It shows the displacement of people historically fostered state capacity, private entrepreneurship, and long-term economic performance.

Are you interested in how parties' parliamentary behavior (e.g., passing bills, calling for elections, forming coalitions, cooperating/conflicting) affects voters (e.g., electoral behavior, perceptions, affective polarization)? Please let me know. I am putting together an MPSA panel proposal.

Amazing work from @evakrejcova.bsky.social @filipkostelka.bsky.social and N.Sauger!

1/ How does migration affect political attitudes? Using 380k obs from 104 sending & 28 receiving countries, @filipkostelka.bsky.social, Nicolas Sauger & I find some migrants’ attitudes align with locals, while others exceed origin-host context, reshaping ideological space.

Je suis un peu à la ramasse sur l’actu politique française, j’essaie de me rattraper et je découvre seulement aujourd’hui cette perle : Bayrou qui balance sur le “confort des boomers”. On fait ça quand on n’a aucune élection en ligne de mire

Something political science would benefit bigly from: World Politics style multi-book review articles where none of the books are written by political scientists. For example: one on “zones” featuring @atossaaraxia.bsky.social, Slobodian, etc. Let’s bring new stuff into the field!

Benjamin Braun @benbraun.bsky.social · Aug 23

I hyped the first two books before but reading all three together is the way to go. There’s a bit of corporate fluff here and there but that pales in comparison with the gains. One learns things about global political economy that one just doesn’t get from academic articles and books.

Covers of three Audiobooks:
House of Huawei, by Eva Dou
Apple in China, Patrick McGee
Chip War, Chris Miller

My problem with this (weird) article from @economist.com on the EUI is that I just don't get the jokes. It's all Harry Potter metaphors, and I'm as familiar with Harry Potter as I am with Star Wars: not at all
