How to Estimate Public Support for Political Violence and Why It Matters
What is the true level of support for political violence in the United States? The answer to this question is extremely important to understanding the level of threat to American democracy, as well as how best to respond. Critics have argued that previous works by political scientists have drastically overstated the level of support for political violence, by 600 percent or more, due to disengaged respondents and poor question wording in surveys.…
The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack
In winter 1942–43 unique circumstances gave Germany’s U-boats the possibility of temporary victory in the North Atlantic. At the same time, Royal Navy operational research considered the possible German adoption of developed stand-off salvo tactics (“browning”), better suited to attacking large, dense convoys than Germany’s existing “ace” tactics of individual commanders infiltrating convoys. We test and verify the RN studies with a simulation, c…
Strained Sinews of War
The Commonwealth air contribution to the UN campaign in Korea has received scant attention by comparison with that of the Commonwealth ground forces. Fundamentally unenthusiastic about participation in the Korean War Britain and its closest Commonwealth allies nevertheless saw it as necessary for the achievement of their collective objectives. We argue that their ability to do this was negatively impacted by the limitation of US financial aid aft…
A Slow-Rolling Disaster
Despite alarming predications about the Covid 19 pandemic that appear to fit the literature on the impact of natural disasters on civil wars, there are reasons to be suspicious that a rise in militant violence would likely occur quickly or uniformly. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is most definitely a disaster that caught the world by surprise, this “slow-rolling” shock differs in important ways from the more commonly studied acute onset natural …
Quantifying Counterfactual Military History
Forces shaping human history are complex, but the course of history is undeniably changed on many occasions by conscious acts. These may be premeditated or responsive, calmly calculated or performed under great pressure. They may also be considered to be successful or catastrophic, but how are historians to make such judgments and appeal to evidence in support of their conclusions? Further, and crucially, how exactly are we to distinguish probabl…
Exposure to Violence as Explanatory Variable
The study of intra-state violence has been a main focus of scholars since the end of the Cold War, and in recent years particular attention has been paid to the consequences of civil wars on future political, social, and economic development. Yet, understanding the consequences of political violence requires a clear working definition of what we mean when we say that someone was “exposed to” or was “a victim of” violence. Researchers use disparat…
Covid-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
The COVID-19 pandemic is a shock affecting all areas of the global food system. We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 and associated policy responses on the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs during 2020, using a high frequency longitudinal survey of 768 respondents in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Myanmar, Nigeria. We found the following: (1) Aquatic food value chains were severely disrupted but most effects on the availabili…
What Exactly are the Social and Political Consequences of Civil War? A Critical Review and Analysis of Recent Scholarship
The last decade has seen a proliferation of studies on the consequences of civil wars; yet, we are far from reaching a consensus about what wars leave behind. In this review, we summarise findings from recent scholarship on four areas of importance for post-war politics: civic attitudes, prosocial behaviours, political participation and partisanship. We summarise findings, and suggest ways to answer contradictory or conflicting findings in the ex…

‘It was like he was in the room with us’
BACKGROUND: Telemedicine can facilitate delivery of thrombolysis in acute stroke. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore patients' and carers' views of their experiences of using a stroke telemedicine system in order to contribute to the development of reliable and acceptable telemedicine systems and training for health-care staff. METHOD: We recruited patients who had, and carers who were present at, recent telemedicine consultations f…
Weighing the fog of war
The application of scientific methods to historical situations is restricted by the existence of a single outcome with no possibility of repetition. However, new computational methods make quantitative historical analysis possible. The authors apply methods of approximate Bayesian computation to simulate a naval engagement of the First World War, the Battle of the Dogger Bank. They demonstrate that the battle's outcome was highly unlikely, with s…
Weight of Shell Must Tell
This article re‐analyses the 1916 battle of Jutland (German: Skagerrak), the major naval engagement of the First World War, in the light of the understanding of dreadnought fleet tactics developed over the decade leading up to it. In particular, it considers the interaction of the calculus of Lanchester's Square Law with fleet geometry and the commanders’ decisions that determined it, and with the shipbuilding decisions associated with the Lanche…
Safety in Numbers
This article examines the Big Wing controversy in the Battle of Britain according to the RAF's understanding of the principle of concentration. RAF doctrine was developed from Fuller's 1916 codification of the principles of war, which in terms of concentration rested on the work of engineer and air-power theorist F. W. Lanchester. We argue that fighter doctrine diverged from its Lanchestrian core between the wars and allowed conflicting interpret…
Culture in a Cold Climate
Culture has been seen in Britain as a national institution worthy of public expenditure since the nineteenth century, but recent cutbacks in British government spending on the arts have forced the British to reexamine the place of culture in their society. The government wants the arts to raise income from private companies and individuals, but it has not provided any tax incentives for such private support. Private support of the arts in Britain…
