5/20: Security Logic vs. Ownership Logic. Security logic: accumulate power to guarantee survival. There's an endpoint—stability, deterrence, a signed treaty. Ownership logic: accumulate to extract. No endpoint. Like capital itself, structurally expansionary. You stop when there's nothing left to acquire.

Continuing the thought from yesterday, after some further thinking.
It makes no sense to divide correlations. It's weird conceptually and also the numbers you get are hard to interpret. Rather it seems most straightforward to use reliability-attenuated correlations and apply a SESOI:
Cor_att = cor*sqrt(rel_a*rel_b)
Apply (crud-corrected) SESOI (Cohen's estimates _might_ work) or whatever is defensible based on the plausible parameter space.

So saddened to hear of Prof Andrew Linklater’s passing. He was a true disciplinary pioneer, carving out space for so much critical work in International Relations, particularly for theorists like me. His work ranged from Hegel and Marx to just war theory, from cosmopolitanism to Elias’s process sociology. He was happy to take a punt on my incoherent PhD project in 2001 and supported from then on. He loved single malts and jazz.

📢 International Relations colleagues! 📢 Teaching IR theories this term? Want to spice up the curriculum? How about my article in International Studies Quarterly presenting an #anarcho-#pacifist reading of #IR (freely available via #openaccess): https://academic.oup.com/isq/article/66/4/sqac070/6748234? 😉😀
Short summary: Paper seeks to articulate overdue #anarchopacifist lens to #IR #theory. Explicitly #critical & #normative. Starts with brief #history of cross-pollination between #anarchism & #pacifism.

Abstract. Pacifism and anarchism have been until recently largely missing on the landscape of international relations (IR) theories, even though they help
I’ve just drafted the first ever textbook chapter on anarchist IR theory. Woo!!
Anarchist international theory dates back to Proudhon’s War and Peace (1861), and was developed by e.g., Noam Chomsky, Richard Falk, Thomas Weiss, and many more since the 1990s.
Despite centrality of anarchy to IR, few know this history/theory, and it’s telling that the textbook (and my chapter) will be published in Spanish, while the references are all to English language texts.
