My #CPSA_ACSP21 roundtable is starting RIGHT NOW.
Dr. Laura Macdonald (Carleton University) tells us about how she used new regionalism theoretical approaches to understand the North American free trade agreement, currently known as USMCA #CPSA_ACSP21
Dr. Kimberly Nolan (@KNolanGarcia, @FlacsoMx) speaks about the trinational (cross-border, and transnational) linkages between labour unions. #CPSA_ACSP21

To what extent does USCMA institutionalize rules for trade?
In my #CPSA_ACSP21 presentation, I spoke about how environmental NGOs have continued to build transnational coalitions despite the negative Tr*mp administration and 4M10's government approaches towards the environment.

"Los votantes", así como el tan manido par de palabras que usa discursivamente el Presidente, "el pueblo", son entidades compuestas de una multiplicidad de individuos. No son monolíticas, ni pueden entenderse de esa manera. No es posible determinar "la intención del votante".
Me preocupa menos la opinión de todo mundo en Twitter sobre quién ganó y quién perdió. Todos analizan de acuerdo con su prisma paradigmático. Lo que sí me preocupa es que los partidos y sus ganadores/as interpreten éstos resultados pensando que se votó por propuestas/candidatxs.
Si el PAN realmente cree (y dudo que lo crea, pero asumamos que lo hace) que en la CDMX tiene una base dura, entonces diseñarán propuestas y políticas desde dicha suposición.

Creo que lo que se puede ver claramente es una mezcla de voto de castigo a múltiples escalas, con...

Por cuestiones de trabajo me he quedado en el Hotel @Radissonparaiso dos veces en las últimas dos semanas. Pagué mi hospedaje con mi propio dinero y no recibo ni descuentos ni recompensas por tuitear en su favor. PERO quiero decir que es un hotel realmente excelente.
El servicio del staff, meseros, personal de limpieza, fue increíble y absolutamente todo mundo se portó de manera profesional y eficiente. Además de la ventaja que representa el que el @Radissonparaiso esté cerca de la FLACSO y del Colegio de México, también está cerca de C.U.
Menciono esto porque obviamente sé que a todos los hoteles les ha pegado durísimo la pandemia (me lo comentaron con tristeza pero buen ánimo las camaristas). Aunque ya no tienen destino bufete diario lo ofrecen los domingos y en general la tarifa del hotel es decente.

#PATheory2021 @AlasdairRoberts tells us that public administration is inherently global.

Great @patheory roundtable moderated by the incomparable Dr. Staci Zavattaro @StaciwithaZ
#PATheory2021 @ELeoSantis "global public administration" is a project of domestifying modernity.

Powerful words.
#PATheory2021 @Global_Academic "global public administration" - instead, how about how can PA less "American", and less European? It is almost annoyingly American.

I am so thrilled and honored to be joined by some of the smartest brains in public administration theory. <3

El mes pasado, terminamos el seminario doctoral "Historia Aplicada: Metodologías y Praxis" co-impartido por el Dr. @mkbess (@CIDE_MX), la Dra. @profjuliette (@UCRiverside) y un servidor (Dr. @raulpacheco, @FlacsoMx).

Esta colaboración tri-institucional, tri-partita fue GENIAL.
El diseño del seminario doctoral incluyó:
- Herramientas teóricas y metodológicas para hacer análisis histórico (con especial énfasis en ciencia política, política pública y administración pública)
- Herramientas prácticas para hacer análisis histórico espacial (H-GIS).
- Estrategias prácticas para escribir propuestas de proyectos de investigación para financiamiento externo.

El éxito de un seminario doctoral radica en el compromiso no solamente de quien enseña el curso con nosotros, sino también de quienes lo toman, participan en él, etc.

I’m working through some ideas on planning and project management for academics.

As someone who suffered through chronic pain, chronic fatigue, psoriasis-eczema-dermatitis, I have become keenly aware of 3 things that we believe are in infinite supply: energy, time and health.
I’ve said a lot of “yes” to things that I believe I will be healthy for, I will have the time and energy to do them.

Well, guess what? When I travel, I get super tired now. I’ve had to travel three times over the past 3 weeks. The result: I’m exhausted and behind on everything
I said “NO” to bidding on a project where I’m basically the most qualified scholar to do the project.

I said “NO” to teaching a class I’ve perfected over the years, one where I already have the slides and reading packet prepared.

Why? I have limited time and energy.

My query on causality and explanations has several strands to it.

1) if “explaining” means “making things clearer”, not all explanations are causal (others can be interpretive or definitional)

2) If “explaining” means “giving reasons for X to happen”, we are naturally making
... a causal argument.

“What explains the origins of conflict?” is a question that has causal language. However, conflict can be caused by multiple, concomitant factors. What explains that some factors are more relevant in certain cases and others are not could be causal or not
3) There are explanations that describe, interpret, define or qualify phenomena. These aren’t necessarily causal.

What I want to make clear, though, is that yes, I like causal explanations but I think “explaining something” is definitely MUCH broad-ranging than just causation.
