A Few Links in Lieu of Actual Post

-- Phil Arena has a great post on selectorate theory as applied by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith in this Foreign Policy article. Gist: if selectorate theory generates useful advice for leaders like Obama, then it isn't much good as theory.

-- John Quiggin on China.

-- Erik Voeten on the UN and a potential General Assembly vote on Palestinian statehood.

-- Hayek: *Monetary Nationalism and International Stability*, from 1937. Haven't finished this yet. Hoping it provides some impetus for a research project or at least a substantive blog post or two.

-- Michael Pettis is a must-read on balance of payments dynamics and currency issues, especially related to China. I've started a post on this, which I hope to finish soon.

We've linked a couple of times to pieces written by or about Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, an NYU Professor of Politics and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Last night, BdM took his formal modeling and predictions to the Daily Show and sat down with Jon Stewart to talk about Iran and using mathematical equations to predict the future:
