Secession and the Sovereignty Game: Strategy and Tactics for Aspiring Nations
204 Maxwell
What is the strategy of secession and how do tactics vary by the kind of independence movement? I argue that the rules and informal practices regarding state recognition create a strategic playing field – the Sovereignty Game – between existing states and aspiring nations. In order to win sovereign statehood, an aspiring nation has to compel and persuade their home state and the international community to recognize them. This book explains how they go about it, the dynamics that follow, and how tactics vary according to local conditions. It combines original data, fieldwork in a dozen breakaway regions, more than 100 interviews with secessionist leaders, and case studies on Catalonia, the Murrawarri Republic, West Papua, Bougainville, New Caledonia, and Northern Cyprus.

Search and Information Frictions on Global E-Commerce Platforms: Evidence from Aliexpress
Virtual
We study how search and information frictions shape market dynamics in global e-commerce. Observational data and self-collected quality measures from AliExpress establish the existence of search and information frictions. A randomized experiment that offers new exporters exogenous demand and information shocks demonstrates the potential role of sales accumulation in enhancing seller visibility and overcoming these demand frictions. However, we show theoretically and quantitatively that this demand-reinforcement mechanism is undermined by the large number of online exporters. Our structural model rationalizes the experimental findings and quantifies efficiency gains from reducing the number of inactive sellers.

The Department of Anthropology Presents: Dr. Shanti Morell-Hart
Virtual Zoom
Contemporary Oaxacan cuisine holds iconic status in Mexico, a nation already known—and even celebrated in UNESCO’s List of Intangible Heritage—for gastronomy. Countless festivals are devoted to Oaxacan ingredients and preparations, including chapulines enchilados, mezcal, quesillo, tejate, and at least seven moles.
