For decades, behavioural economics has transformed how we think about human decision-making. It showed that people are not the cold, hyper-rational optimisers imagined by classical economics. We rely on heuristics. We fear losses more than we value equivalent gains, we overvalue our own properties, we discount future rewards more than we should. And we have […]

State Matters began with a life rupture, not a theoretical puzzle. Before it became an intellectual project, it was something I lived through—watching political events tear through ordinary life. For me, a Palestinian who grew up in Iraq during the 1980s, my life and that of my ancestors were shaped in no small ways by […]

Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi once wondered if he might be a dream that a butterfly was having. A couple of millennia later, a biologist asks a similar question in Greg Bear’s novel Vitals (2002). “Larger and older minds live inside our bodies and all around us,” Bear’s scientist declares. “Perhaps we are only a dream the […]

They portray a world, then and now, beset by rivalries between rising and falling powers, wars of territorial conquest, spheres of […]

The Tang dynasty (618-907), an empire that once stretched from Tajikistan to Manchuria, gave way to a multipolar configuration of states eventually reunified under the Song (960-1127). Contrary to traditional dynastic theory, the decline of central authority and the rise of regionalism sparked a vigorous spirit of innovation and national renewal that heralded medieval China’s […]

When historians write about Jews in the Soviet Union during Stalin’s final years, the story is often framed almost entirely through repression. The destruction of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, the campaign against “cosmopolitans,” and the Doctors’ Plot have come to define what many scholars describe as the darkest chapter of Soviet Jewish history. My book, […]

If change is necessary and beneficial, why is it sometimes so slow, and fiercely resisted? When and how do people, groups, and movements bring about system change? These are the ideas we explore in our recent book from Cambridge University Press, The Psychology of System Change and Resistance to Change. Change is actively created and […]
