This study grew out of my on-the-job blogging. At both the Charleston School of Law and the J. Rueben Clark Law School, I read every opinion from the state and federal appellate courts with jurisdiction over South Carolina and Utah respectively, summarizing the binding authority and posting those summaries online at the Barrister blog and the Binding the Law blog. This has served as excellent current awareness and bar preparation service to the law school communities and a research tool to the legal community generally.

REVIEWERS OF THE STATUS OF STATE POLITICS RESEARCH OFTEN LAMENT THE FIELD'S LACK OF THEORETICAL PROGRESS AND ITS FRAGMENTED CHARACTER. THESE CONDITIONS PERSIST ALTHOUGH A REVIEW OF THIS RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN THE PROFESSION'S TOP JOURNALS OVER THE PAST DECADE REVEALS A SUBSTANTIVELY RICH AND OFTEN METHODOLOGICALLY SOPHISTICATED BODY OF SCHOLARSHIP. APPLYING AN INCLUSIVE APPROACH, THIS ESSAY EXAMINES ALL RESEARCH PUBLISHED ON STATE POLITICS OVER THE LAST DECADE IN SIX TOP JOURNALS: APSR, AJPS, JOP, PRQ POLITY AND SSQ. TRENDS IN SUBSTANTIVE FOCUS AND THE FINDINGS OF THIS RESEARCH ARE DESCRIBED, AS ARE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND INNOVATIONS. THE STUDY TAKES STOCK OF THE PROGRESS THE FIELD HAS MADE AND IDENTIFIES PROMISING AVENUES FOR FUTURE INQUIRY. THE SUBFIELD COULD ADVANCE BY EMPHASIZING ITS UNIQUE COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL ADVANTAGES. THESE ADVANTAGES PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXTS ON POLITICAL BEHAVIOR, PROCESSES, AND OUTCOMES. THE FIELD NEEDS TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF MODELING POLITICAL BEHAVIOR ACROSS CONTEXTS, AND INTERACTIVELY ACROSS CONTEXTUAL AND INDIVIDUAL LEVELS OF ANALYSIS. BY SO DOING THE SUBFIELD CAN SHOW HOW STATES MATTER AND ALSO ASSESS THE GENERALITY OF MODELS THAT FOCUS TOO OFTEN ON BEHAVIOR OR PROCESS WITHIN SINGLE CONTEXTS.
From the acclaimed comedy troupe The State comes the first-ever e-book edition of their cult classic book, a mock-travel guide that traverses the nation in the same irreverent, subversive and off-the-wall comedic style that fueled their MTV sketch show and subsequent movies and TV series

Cybercrime and other cybersecurity harms are gaining increasing political and public attention across many countries. One of the most serious and fastest growing categories of such harms relates to ransomware attacks. Many of the groups responsible for ransomware attacks have come under political pressure in recent years as they have become more aggressive in their methods and targeting. On a geopolitical level, an area attracting increasing interest is the complex relationships between ransomware groups and states, in particular, Russia. This paper introduces the concept of state crime to ransomware groups. Starting with the concept of proxies before turning to the historical examples of privateering and piracy, we focus on the notion of "cyber privateers" to analyze two select ransomware groups — DarkSide and REvil — that are believed to be affiliated with the Russian state. We argue that approaching these ransomware groups as cyber privateers engaged in state crime has the potential to enhance our understanding of how these groups operate. We further posit that a state crime perspective also assists in identifying how ransomware may be countered, highlighting the need for policy responses that are effective even when ransomware groups may be tacitly protected by a state.
