Such a profound finding: Large influxes of refugees don't generate political backlash when inclusive refugee hosting policies are in place. Excellent article from @guygrossman, Yang-Yang Zhou 周泱泱 & Shuning Ge sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Does ambient temperature influence wartime violence? We explore this question in an International Organization article published this week. We find that it affected how often insurgents during wars in Afghanistan and Iraq carried out attacks. More below. #TemperatureViolence #openaccess 1/6

Andrew Shaver and my paper “The Causes and Consequences of Refugee Flows” is officially published (and open access) at American Political Science Review! This project was made possible by years of collaboration with Political Violence Lab members and a partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. bit.ly/3JSNr6a

Does your research or work in government involve questions concerning refugee/asylum seeker flows? Out today in the American Political Science Review, my most recent research with Benjamin Krick and an outstanding team of (now former) UC Merced Political Science Political Violence Lab members: 🧵

The Political Violence Lab is looking once again to partner with (freelance or other) journalists (on a paid basis). This time, we are looking for journalists based in/working on Bangladesh specifically! Please DM us if you are interested or have any leads!

Many major international issues receive limited major news media attention. But, does their lack of coverage simply reflect lack of demand for them? In LSE Media & Communications Working Paper #74, Political Violence Lab explores this question. See 🧵for findings and link to paper.
