De Facto States and Covid-19: New Comparative Insights into Governmental Capacity to Act
This paper takes advantage of the exogenous shock of the COVID-19 pandemic to study de facto state agency. It builds upon previous scholarship on de facto states’ integration into international society by employing seven case studies while developing an independent capacity index. We argue that the COVID-19 pandemic is ideally suited to this task because it provided a powerful exogenous, non-conflict-related shock to all seven of our case studies…

Back on track? Somaliland after its 2017 presidential election
On 13 December 2017, Somaliland’s fifth president, Musa Bihi Abdi, was inaugurated. Bihi ran as candidate for the ruling Kulmiye party after the incumbent president, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud ‘Silanyo’, decided not to seek re-election. Article Nine of Somaliland’s Constitution allows for only three political parties, and Bihi defeated Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi ‘Irro’ of Waddani party, and Faisal Ali ‘Warabe’ of the For Justice and Development (UC…
Oil to cash in Somaliland: A Debate Whose Time Has Come
Somaliland might start producing oil in 2019. Yet, it has done little to prepare for the arrival of oil revenues which could exceed its current annual budget. Although Somaliland has been largely peaceful for two decades and recently inaugurated its fifth president after holding a democratic election, it remains entirely unrecognised. Oil revenues could positively transform Somaliland's fragile political economy, but they also place it at signifi…
Scrutinizing a Policy of “Engagement Without Recognition”: US Requests for Diplomatic Actions With De Facto States
De facto states are conventionally perceived as illegal entities, usually ignored by the rest of the world and therefore also isolated and severely sanctioned in most cases. We investigate US foreign-policy engagement with Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Northern Cyprus, Somaliland, and Transnistria and explore when, why, and how interactions between the United States and “places that do not exist” has taken place. This is done by extensively using W…

Lost and Found: The WikiLeaks of De Facto State-Great Power Relations
De facto states are typically seen as marginal actors in the international system. Although they control territory and provide governance, their claims to sovereignty remain largely unrecognized. It is widely believed that such entities are either ignored or viewed with hostility by the vast majority of sovereign states. Rather than theoretically presume such relations, we empirically investigate de facto state–great power interactions through th…

Briefing: Chronicle of a Death Foretold: The Collapse of the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project
The largest single private sector investment in sub-Saharan Africa, the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development and Pipeline Project, attracted worldwide attention not for the size of its oil reserves or the technical complexities of constructing a 1,070-kilometre pipeline from southern Chad to Cameroon's Atlantic coast, but for the elaborate World Bank-sponsored capacity-building initiatives designed to ameliorate the seemingly damaging ‘resource cu…

Global Corporate Power
Exploring the diverse ways that corporations affect the practices and structures of the global political economy, this innovative work addresses three fundamental questions: How can the corporation be most usefully conceptualized within the field of IPE? Does global governance succeed in constraining the power of multinational corporations? To what extent has the movement for corporate social responsibility been fruitful? The authors' rich, detai…
Consensus and Divergence in International Studies: Survey Evidence from 140 International Studies Curriculum Programs
There is a growing debate over the extent of consensus or divergence found within interdisciplinary International Studies (IS) programs. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, this debate has taken place in the absence of empirical data. This article advances our understanding of the current state of IS curricula through an analysis of data generated from a survey of 140 interdisciplinary undergraduate IS majors across the United States. The surve…
Can policy intervention beat the resource curse? Evidence from the Chad–Cameroon pipeline project
Countries that are heavily dependent on natural resource exports have performed poorly on various measures of economic, social, and political development — a phenomenon usually described as ‘the resource curse’. In spite of this, many Western policymakers believe that natural resources will ultimately provide Africa’s road to development. The World Bank argues that the resource curse is not inevitable and that good governance and sound economic p…
Presidential Succession and Academic Freedom: Botswana Deports Leading Political Scientist Kenneth Good
Botswana is frequently depicted as a major success story on a continent where political and economic success stories are unfortunately few and far between (Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson 2001; Leith 2005; Samatar 1999; Sarraf and Jiwanji 2001). In many ways, it is. In contrast to many resource-dependent countries, Botswana has avoided civil war, held regular elections, and produced some of the fastest sustained economic growth in the world. Yet,…
