@KariJaquesson Hei Kari, kan du utdype poenget ditt?

@Tbanen Yo, er dette løst?

Etter dagens #dax18 så sitter jeg igjen med følgende spørsmål: Hva forklarer at Donald Trump har vunnet større støtte blant svarte velgere enn noen republikansk presidentkandidat siden Richard Nixon i 1960? Spørsmålet bør stå helt sentralt når partiet skal se seg selv i speilet.

@torewig @Politics_Oxford Enjoy the strangest, most beautiful little sanctuary there is — and don’t forget that pub hours are mandatory regardless of academic endeavours

@HenrikHeldahl Hva med Cooper?

Happy to announce that I survived the Viva (pun intended by the university) and have now officially taken on a new doctoral feature (the title!) Many thanks to @Hegghammer and Kristian Gleditsch (the glorious committee) and of course @aruggeri_eu (the allknowing supervisor)

[Andrea Ruggeri @aruggeri_eu]

What a wonderful Norwegian trio!

Congrats Dr Schram! @jakobschram

Thanks @Hegghammer and KSG for your service, assessment and work.

Jeg fortsetter metodedebatten med medlemmer av ekstremismekommisjonen. Det handler ikke om kvant. vs. kvalitativ, men hva som må til for å si noe om årsaker. Også NOU'er må ha sterk metodebevissthet når man skal foreslå tiltak på viktige samfunnsområder.https://t.co/Zxv8TKF2Ni

Exciting to share my findings for UCL’s @uclconflict about *how* exactly militants exploit borders to dodge counterinsurgency operations. Important topic atm., and great input from @NilsWMetternich @KristinMBakke & the brilliant bunch of PhD students they’d gathered. På gjensyn!

(4/4) This is a sizable puzzle piece in understanding conflict trajectories in today's world politics. To grasp it we must stop underestimating "weak states" and instead look closer at decisionmaking.

🚨 Excited to share my latest article 🚨 now out in Les Cahiers du CCRAG (link below) along with several fascinating studies from the Central African context. In it I ask an overlooked question: (1/4)

[Jakob Schram @jakobschram]

(3/4) This leads to new questions: why do some "weak" states leave foreign rebels alone while others suppress them? Why do policies vary over time? My study from Chad and the CAR (1990-2000s) highlights domestic politics. Leaders are sensitive to costs to their regime security..

After our last Brasenose workshop of the year, a drink to celebrate our little but great intellectual community. Thanks to @jakobschram @tirilrahn @samseitz3 @amiadharan and @VilhelminaAna who keep me up to speed with new literature, data and methods. Evviva le giovini menti!

9/n: Borders, in short, are best sealed by diplomacy. My PhD project (under @aruggeri_eu at @Politics_Oxford) tackles the more iffy questions that these insight prompt. How do CB rebels respond to crackdowns? How does neighbourly diplomacy affect conflict resolution? Stay tuned!

🚨 Policy brief / PhD teaser alert:
@PRIOresearch just published a paper where I preview new data I've collected. The project untangles how rebels use borders to wage war - and how the picture suddenly shifts as neighbouring gov'ts get friendly. I show🧵:

10/n: A major security-policy implication is that unilateral attacks (often the norm today) don’t really pay. Joint operations may require patience and compromise, but they tend to be more successful (and I hint at why).
