Just What Is a Just War?
In: FP, Heft 189
ISSN: 0015-7228
The first French missiles that streaked over Benghan in March were more than the beginning of the end for Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi -- they were also the first real world test of the international community's new rules for humanitarian intervention: "responsibility to protect" (R2P). This article examines a history of countries engaging in conflict in the name of human rights. Adapted from the source document.

Just War
In: Conflict and society: advances in research, Band 1, Heft 1, S. 41-59
ISSN: 2164-4551
This article describes and explains "police vigilantism" as a mode of authoritative extralegal coercion performed by public police officials conceived as doing their duty to realize justice in the world. Based on ethnographic observations, interviews, and content analysis of news and entertainment media as well as official government reports, this essay examines a specific form of police vigilantism in contemporary India known as "encounter killings". Demonstrating that encounter killings are widely constituted as a form of ritual purification and social defense by self-sacrificing police, it theorizes a metaphysics of police vigilantism in India that combines generalized experiences of insecurity with shared cosmologies of just war. Comparing this metaphysics with justifications of state violence in other Global South contexts, this study sheds light on how such violence may be legitimated through the conceptual inextricability of law and war as embodied in a uniquely constituted human figure: the police vigilante.

FEVD: Just IV or Just Mistaken?
In: Political analysis: PA ; the official journal of the Society for Political Methodology and the Political Methodology Section of the American Political Science Association, Band 19, Heft 2, S. 165-169
ISSN: 1476-4989
Fixed effects vector decomposition (FEVD) is simply an instrumental variables (IV) estimator with a particular choice of instruments and a special case of the well-known Hausman-Taylor IV procedure. Plümper and Troeger (PT) now acknowledge this point and disown the three-stage procedure that previously defined FEVD. Their old recipe for SEs, which has regrettably been used in dozens of published research papers, produces dramatic overconfidence in the estimates. Again PT concede the point and now adopt the standard IV formula for SEs. Knowing that FEVD is an application of IV also has the benefit of focusing attention on the choice of instruments. Now it seems PT claim that the FEVD instruments are always the best choice, on the grounds that one cannot know whether any potential instrument is correlated with the unit effect. One could just as readily make the same specious claim about other estimators, such as ordinary least squares, and support it with similar Monte Carlo assumptions and evidence.
