Targeted Killing Isn't the Solution to Terrorism
February 8, 2022
Jenna Jordan, an assistant professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was mentioned in the article, 'Targeted Killing Isn't the Solution to Terrorism', published February 8, 2022 on Ink Media.
An excerpt:
In her research on the topic, Jenna Jordan of the Georgia Institute of Technology writes that groups with some degree of bureaucratization and communal support (like al-Qaeda) are often able to recuperate from the killing of a leader. Considering al-Qaeda has survived a series of decapitation strikes on its leadership over the last two decades, it’s difficult to refute this analysis.

“City councils in both large and small cities now connect regularly with the public via tele-town halls and policymaker Q&As, allowing citizens to directly engage with local political leaders. In state and federal policy, it is now common for thousands of citizens to join monthly meetings to discuss policy issues of the day, engage in participatory budgeting and vote on proposals for city councils and government agencies. Skilled facilitators work with online breakout groups to systematically explore issues, educate participants and gather citizen feedback, and political leaders have started to embrace and promote these developments.

What Happens to Childhood Vaccine Rates in Conflict Zones? This Analysis Found Some Surprises.
February 3, 2022
Olga Shemyakina, associate professor in the School of Economics, co-wrote the article, "What Happens to Childhood Vaccine Rates in Conflict Zones? This Analysis Found Some Surprises." It was published on February 3, 2022, in The Washington Post.
The article discusses the effect of armed conflict on immunization rates for children between one and five years old in 15 African countries south of the Sahara.
An excerpt:
Our research identified at least four ways that armed conflict negatively affects vaccine supply. First, conflicts often divert government resources toward the war effort, rather than health care. Here’s an example: In conflict-affected South Sudan, allocations to the security and public administration sectors amounted to nearly two-thirds of the 2017-2018 national budget. Only 5 percent of the budget went to social sectors, including health, education and humanitarian affairs.

Why early-career researchers should step up to the peer-review plate
January 31, 2022
Cassidy Sugimoto, professor and Tom and Marie Patton School Chair in the School of Public Policy, was mentioned in the article, 'Why early-career researchers should step up to the peer-review plate', published on January 31, 2022 on Nature.
An excerpt:
The effects of this older, predominantly male reviewer pool trickle down into manuscript acceptance rates, according to a paper posted on the preprint server bioRxiv (and thus not yet peer reviewed itself)4. Information scientist Cassidy Sugimoto at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and her colleagues analysed thousands of eLife submissions, and found that women, as well as researchers who were not from North America or Europe, were less likely to be editors, reviewers and authors. When editors and reviewers happened to match the gender or geography of authors, acceptance rates went up.

NATO's on Notice in Ukraine Crisis: What's Next?
January 29, 2022
Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was quoted in several articles regarding his recent trip to Ukraine amid the standoff with Russia.
An excerpt from the article, 'NATO's on notice in Ukraine crisis: What's next?' published January 29, 2022 on DW.com:
One of those options, Breedlove said, is something he would have already liked to see when he was NATO's top military commander from 2013 to 2016, during which time Russia invaded Ukraine. Noting that the US and other nations are now sending additional fighter jets for the air policing missions that cover the Baltic states and much of NATO's other territory, Breedlove argued that the time had come to upgrade that function and give it some teeth.

Former NATO Commander: Ukraine Crisis Shows U.S. Needs Firmer Approach to Russian Incursions
January 27, 2022
Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the story, 'Former NATO Commander: Ukraine Crisis Shows U.S. Needs Firmer Approach to Russian Incursions', published January 27, 2022 on GlobalAtlanta.com.
An excerpt:
Speaking at a Jan. 21 program with new World Affairs Council of Atlanta President Rickey Bevington and using detailed digital maps to paint a picture of Russia’s military encirclement of Ukraine, Mr. Breedlove said Russia is continuing to push the envelope mainly because the West has failed to mount a convincing response to previous incursions. Russia took over two regions of Georgia in 2008 and then annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014, facing little substantive response.
