Den centrala frågan för Natomedlemskapet har alltid varit statsvetenskaplig: hur stark är försvarsalliansen när det kommer till kritan? Tyvärr ligger denna bortom den militärstrategiska kompetensen hos de militärer som har varit medias föredragna experter i frågan. www.dn.se/kultur/jonas...

Wiman frågar sig vad är det vi låter oss duperas av i dag. Ironiskt nog är det idén om att människor är enkla att dupera och vilseleda. Ett påstående som har ett mycket svagt stöd i forskningen -- men som kultursidorna dag efter dag insisterar på är sant. www.dn.se/kultur/bjorn...

Great move. Hopefully this will strengthen researchers' incentives to not only do eye-catching but credible research when going for the top journals.

The take: doing good research is expensive and therefore we should lower our standards is and will always be the weakest take. Also it is wrong.

Happy and sad to announce that this is my final month as a full-time researcher in Aarhus as I am returning for a position as Senior Associate Lecturer (TT) at the University of Gothenburg.

More and more reports of violent spillovers from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are coming in. My research together with Jakob Enlund shows that the conflict violence does indeed increase hate crimes against both Jews and Muslims in the US. WP: lovechristensen.com/files/christ...
