Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”
