Res Publica Belli: Freeing the Prisoners of the Mercator Projection
http://respublicabelli.blogspot.com/2011/06/21st-century-map.html
Friday, June 3, 2011. Freeing the Prisoners of the Mercator Projection. Travel writer Robert Kaplan recently observed in his stereotypically elaborate prose that we're all “prisoners of the Mercator projection.” Andrew Exum’s point. Ap tells, and alternatives to the Mercator can give new me. Aning to world events. Has assumed its Stockholm-syndrome hold on our spatial concept of the world because it’s based on navigational absolutes: the lines of latitude and longitude. While useful for travers...E- than...

Res Publica Belli: December 2010
http://respublicabelli.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 18, 2010. Moving Forward, Standing Still. Congratulations to the Senate for doing the right thing. It's about time the policy is put to rest, and all Americans who want to serve are given the opportunity to do so with dignity. On the other hand, shame on you for not passing the DREAM Act. I suppose one out of two ain't bad, especially for Congress, but I can't help but be disappointed in the Democrats on this one. Friday, December 17, 2010. Today, I noticed this piece. Set to be offici...

Res Publica Belli: May 2011
http://respublicabelli.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Last week, this post. By Alex Thurston over at Sahel Blog. I do take issue with one line in the post, and the pervasiveness of the opinion behind it. Alex writes. But many foreign affairs “experts” (old and new) claim expertise without possessing what I see as the key requirements for foreign affairs expertise, especially knowledge of local languages and local history. By this logic, the fact that I lived for a couple years in Scotland, can understand a Glaswegian. Some may be more ...

Res Publica Belli: Grand Strategy, Grand Enemies, and Acquisition Cycles (Oh My)
http://respublicabelli.blogspot.com/2011/01/grand-strategy-grand-enemies-and.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Grand Strategy, Grand Enemies, and Acquisition Cycles (Oh My). The conversation about grand strategy. And the need for a grand enemy has been underway over at Ink Spots (and here. A number of folks including Adam Elkus. Have weighed in on the debate. Aside from being well-worth a read, the discussion has helped me clarify some of my own thinking on the topic, and set the stage for this post. It was actually a post by Matthew Yglesias. Most of the impetus that drove the requirem...

Notts Law PhD: Criminal Justice on Strike - History Repeats Itself as Farce?
http://nottslawphd.blogspot.com/2014/01/criminal-justice-on-strike-history.html
The blog of PhD law students at the University of Nottingham. Wednesday, January 08, 2014. Criminal Justice on Strike - History Repeats Itself as Farce? The purpose of today's blog, however, is not to document this selective attention to the criminal justice system by mass media, but to ask a rather more significant question about the Bar's historic decision to walk out on trial work (the Criminal Bar Association has been at pains to call this a 'strike', as they're not a trade union per se. I'm reminded...

Notts Law PhD: Mandela: some thoughts
http://nottslawphd.blogspot.com/2013/12/mandela-some-thoughts.html
The blog of PhD law students at the University of Nottingham. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. How should we appraise the life of Nelson Mandela? His passing almost two weeks ago has led to much inevitable reminiscing on his achievements, his personality, and what his legacy should be. This has been necessary, I feel - not only so that we remember Mandela's life and his principles, but also so that we might learn something that we can pass on to successive generations. And perhaps most important of all was hi...
