Do #governments use int' organizations (#IO) to avoid #blame for policies that are unpopular domestically? 🌐😡 In our contribution to #RIO @The_PEIO, Tom Hunter, Sujeong Shim and I explore this question in the case of the #IMF: lnkd.in/d6kyAxKj

New special issue of @The_PEIO on "Public Opinion and International Organizations." In the introduction, we map the field, place the SI papers & identify ways forward: rdcu.be/eXt2R. 🙏@DreherAxel, all reviewers, and the SI contributors!

@The_PEIO Make sure to check other articles in the SI! They introduce 1) the drivers of public opinion toward IOs, 2) the effect of public opinion on IOs, and 3) the influence of IOs on pubic opinion. @Interna01697120 @SUPoliSci

Happy to share our article on transparency and the WTO Secretariat is now open access at @The_PEIO! Many thanks to @minjulisettekim for the great collaboration. Also check out the other articles forthcoming in the SI on Public Opinion and IOs by @JonasTallberg and Lisa Dellmuth.

How does transparency affect the behavior of international bureaucrats tasked with facilitating negotiations? In new work with @SojunPark2 in @The_PEIO (doi.org/10.1007/s11558…, it’s open access!), we provide an answer in the context of the WTO. 🧵

Another call for better aid reporting. Axel Dreher says we should distinguish & report separately on: 1. Humanitarian aid 2. Global public goods 3. Development aid #fn14" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are releasing the 2024 version of our dataset in "China Visits: a Dataset of Chinese Leaders' Foreign Visits" @The_PEIO . The dataset should be useful to scholars in #InternationalRelations #InternationalPoliticalEconomy Harvard Dataverse: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?…

As the US steps back from leading in global governance institutions, China has increasingly stepped into leadership roles, serving as head of WHO, FAO, and other important UN agencies in recent years. In new (open access!) work with @rachelhulvey in @The_PEIO, we ask: why? 1/5

Deadline for PEIO 2026: September 30.
