CMPS issue 41(2) is now available at journals.sagepub.com/toc/cmpb/41/2 and we are starting up threads summarizing our issues again! Issue 41(2) is a special issue on “New Research on Leaders and Peace Science”, edited by Jeff Carter. (1/6)

In the first article, Jeff Carter summarizes existing research on leaders and peace science, provides brief summaries of the core arguments and findings of the special issue articles, and discusses their implications for the field. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… (2/6)

Second, Giacomo Chiozza and Lena Khalifa investigate coups in the US world order, highlighting that coups were more likely in countries where the leaders enjoyed an incumbency advantage. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… (3/6)

Third, Jeff Carter develops a formal model to understand how political leaders, who have substantive policy preferences and need the support of their constituents to remain in power, shape military spending. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… (4/6)

And finally, Benjamin Jones, Eleonora Mattiacci, and Timothy Nordstrom investigate how nuclear latency shapes the impact of leader type on the propensity of initiating conflict or being targeted. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… (6/6)

All legislation, public notices, and written communication from City of Atlanta, GA stated that polls would close at 8:00p today.

But within the last 24 hours, the City of Atlanta changed that time to 7:00p on Election Day without any public notice. This is unacceptable. #voteATL

City of Atlanta, GA ATL Clerk, Atlanta City Council: what's going on over there?
