The U.S. is losing its hypocrisy advantage
▻http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2013/10/22/the-u-s-is-losing-its-hypocrisy-advantage
#Manning’s and #Snowden’s leaks mark the beginning of a new era in which the U.S. government can no longer count on keeping its secret behavior secret. Hundreds of thousands of Americans today have access to classified documents that would embarrass the country if they were publicly circulated. As the recent revelations show, in the age of the cellphone camera and the flash drive, even the most draconian laws and reprisals will not prevent this information from leaking out. As a result, Washington faces what can be described as an accelerating hypocrisy collapse — a dramatic narrowing of the country’s room to maneuver between its stated aspirations and its sometimes sordid pursuit of self-interest. The U.S. government, its friends, and its foes can no longer plausibly deny the dark side of U.S. foreign policy and will have to address it head-on.

The U.S. is very lonely. There are a few dark blue countries but you can barely see them because they are so small (Israel and a few Pacific islands). Moreover, as I showed in an earlier post, the situation has gradually gotten worse. This cannot just be blamed on President George W. Bush: Alienation from the U.S. started before him and the tide was not turned by President Obama.

So why not institute the norm of using initials in all our work so that the youngest and most at risk scholars will have a fighting chance to make it up the ranks? Perhaps then we’ll see fewer highly talented researchers drop out of the profession well before their prime.

Erik Voeten et ses collègues se sont intéressés aux citations des articles de recherches et ils ont remarqué, que parmi bien des facteurs, le genre était l’un des meilleurs prédicateur pour savoir si un article sera cité ou pas. Amis scientifiques, nonbstant la qualité de vos recherches, si vous êtes une femme vous serez beaucoup moins cité que si vous êtes un homme. Comment résoudre ce problème ? Et l’auteur d’inviter les chercheuses à plus citer de femmes plutôt que de subir le même biais... L’autre (...)
