Negotiators meet behind closed doors, world leaders speak of a historic opportunity, and commentators predict that peace may finally be within reach. Then the talks collapse, violence resumes, and another generation grows up believing that the conflict is simply irresolvable.

In the mid–seventeenth century, this is just what we can observe in the city of Amsterdam, at the time one of the world’s prime commercial hubs. In the early modern Dutch Republic, a set of legal, cultural, and institutional innovations resulted in a new and economically more efficient way of dealing with the problem of insolvency.

Interestingly, the question is not a new one.
- [Genocide Prevention: An Evidence-Based Approach](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/06/genocide-prevention-an-evidence-based-approach/) - How do we prevent genocide? The modern world has been plagued with this ‘crimes of crimes’, that has claimed many millions of lives over the past century or more.

This was typical—to avoid preparing for war until it occurred. At that point, herculean efforts were exerted, industry and resources were mobilized, huge sums appropriated, and an overwhelming military juggernaut was built, trained, and deployed. It would take time, but the country’s latent power would ensure success—eventually.
- [Why Europe?](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/06/why-europe/) - Economic growth transformed human society, freeing us from a world where nearly everyone was mired in poverty and half of all kids died before adulthood. Life before growth remained tough even for the survivors of childhood disease.

- [Promises Made, Promises Kept?](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/06/promises-made-promises-kept/) - Politicians are notorious promise breakers.

Lawrence Wrote: Performance on the Page by Paul Eggert](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/06/how-d-h-lawrence-wrote-performance-on-the-page-by-paul-eggert/) - For many years I tried, without success, to crack the code of a literary critical puzzle concerning D. H. Lawrence. The tradition of post-World War II Lawrence criticism, remarkable though it was in remaking successive Lawrences sensitive to the discourses of the day (existentialism, feminism, postcolonialism, eco-criticism), hadn’t got me there.

- [Languaging: Playfulness and Precarity](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/05/languaging-playfulness-and-precarity/) - There is something deeply uncomfortable about admitting that you are not fully fluent in your own mother tongue. As a Mongolian born and raised in Mongolia, I grew up believing Mongolian was naturally “mine”: the language of my childhood, my homeland, my family, my memories.
- [Why Elizabeth Maconchy Needs Context](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/05/why-elizabeth-maconchy-needs-context/) - When Lucy Walker and I began work on Elizabeth Maconchy in Context, we were motivated by a simple conviction: Maconchy’s music and career demand a fuller account than she has usually been granted.

- [Still Searching…](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/05/still-searching/) - In 1915, Robert Chenault Givler published the results of his PhD thesis, which he had undertaken at the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. The work was entitled ‘The Psycho-physiological Effect of the Elements of Speech in Relation to Poetry’ and consisted of Givler strapping a series of readers to an early blood-pressure device in the hopes of measuring which poems from literary history were the most affective, which poems really got the body moving.

- [Vulnerability and Relational Equality](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/04/vulnerability-and-relational-equality/) - Many people these days talk about vulnerability: children, the elderly, and those who are poor are all described as vulnerable. During the pandemic, protecting the vulnerable became the guiding principle of public health policy which has translated into every practices.

- [Ballad Business: Selling Early Modern Theatre](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/04/ballad-business-selling-early-modern-theatre/) - A trip to the theatre, these days, often involves additional purchase. Theatre merchandise (‘merch’) is sold in a related shop or kiosk, so that attending a performance might involve also buying a t-shirt, a mug, a toy, a CD.
- [Why “More Doctors” Won’t Fix the Provider Shortage](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/04/why-more-doctors-wont-fix-the-provider-shortage/) - When we hear that the United States is facing a health care provider shortage, the most common response is: We need more doctors.

When it seems like we don’t have enough doctors, the natural response is to try to produce more of them: add medical school seats, expand residency programs, and grow the physician pipeline.

- [What Is Culture For?](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/04/what-is-culture-for/) - When I started researching the Egyptian Ministry of Culture (formerly National Guidance), I wondered why the government would dedicate an entire ministry to something as abstract as ‘culture’.

- [Restoring Historical Remembrance](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/restoring-historical-remembrance/) - At the height of its expansion, the Tang (618-907) stretched from Tajikistan to Manchuria.

We were in a storm on the North Atlantic Ocean, on a voyage from the United States to Europe. You need not fear the ocean, but you must respect it. If you are careless or just unlucky,

- [Human Prehistory](https://cambridgeblog.org/2023/10/human-prehistory/) - Human Prehistory: Exploring the Past to Understand the Future educates students about the key stages of human anatomical, behavioral and cultural evolution.
- [The Fraying Bonds of Peace](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/the-fraying-bonds-of-peace/) - As we live through the transformation of the post-Cold War international order, politicians, diplomats, and scholars have fastened upon the pre-First World War era as a guide to what might emerge in its place. They portray a world, then and now, beset by rivalries between rising and falling powers, wars of territorial conquest, spheres of influence, imperial predation, and economic competition.
- [Piecing Together Market Regulation and Private Law: The Reconciliation Puzzle](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/piecing-together-market-regulation-and-private-law-the-reconciliation-puzzle/) - We live in an age of grand challenges, from climate change and the digitalisation of markets to rising inequality. Yet legal systems struggle to respond effectively, constrained by entrenched disciplinary boundaries. Law and regulation, public and private law, and European Union (EU) law and national law often operate in separate silos, limiting meaningful dialogue.
- [Beyond the “Black Years”: Jewish Life in Soviet Moldavia after the Holocaust](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/beyond-the-black-years-jewish-life-in-soviet-moldavia-after-the-holocaust/) - 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.
- [Why are we so resistant to change?](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/why-are-we-so-resistant-to-change/) - 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
- [Morality and Political Communication](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/morality-and-political-communication/) - Political arguments often appeal to fundamental moral intuitions about right and wrong. Politicians highlight the moral basis of their views and positions.
- [A just image](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/a-just-image/) - We use images to immortalize precious moments, to document how we see the world and how others should see it, and to construct imaginations of how the world ought to be. In the book Seeing Matters, I examine the psychological influence of public images in shaping our thoughts, emotions, memories, and actions, and why it
- [Not a Robot Judge: What AI Is Really Doing to Civil Justice](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/not-a-robot-judge-what-ai-is-really-doing-to-civil-justice/) - When people hear about artificial intelligence in justice, they often imagine a dystopian future in which a “robot judge” decides cases, replaces lawyers, and turns justice into a cold, automated process. That image is dramatic, but it is also misleading.
- [Language, Justice and Conference Dinners](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/language-justice-and-conference-dinners/) - This week we are celebrating the release of our brand new edited collection, ‘Language and Justice’.
- [Critical Realism in Applied Linguistics](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/critical-realism-in-applied-linguistics/) - In the 1950s, research on language learning was dominated by behaviourism, which viewed language as a system of linguistic rules and patterns.

- [The Cambridge Companion to Electronic Dance Music](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/the-cambridge-companion-to-electronic-dance-music/) - Though associated with nighttime dance parties and clubs, electronic dance music has saturated many aspects of contemporary culture.

- [Orbiting](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/orbiting/) - Thirty years ago, I planned to write a book about Elizabeth Bowen, the Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer. With a monograph in mind, I assembled Bowen’s essays and reviews scattered across various magazines and newspapers.

- [Forgotten Songs](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/forgotten-songs/) - The fourth track on Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series Volume 1 is a song called ‘No More Auction Block’. The melody is simple, rising and falling in hymn like steps over acoustic guitar.
- [Lost Plots](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/lost-plots/) - When is interruption an art form? Short answer: the eighteenth-century novel. Interrupting another speaker gets a bad rap: common charges lodged against listeners who jump the queue maintain that interrupters are pushy, rude, impatient, or, at the least, distracting.
- [Naming nature in the early modern period](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/naming-nature-in-the-early-modern-period/) - Everyone who discovers a new species nowadays has the right to name it. This name has to conform to rather intricate rules established by international professional associations.
- [Augustine’s Theology of Justification by Faith](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/augustines-theology-of-justification-by-faith/) - Other than Paul, no writer has had greater influence on the theology of justification than Augustine. In the preface to his Latin works, Martin Luther famously narrated his discovery of the justifying righteousness of God: first he says he read Paul’s Letter to the Romans, but the very next author he turned to for confirmation was Augustine.
- [The Era of Florence Price](https://cambridgeblog.org/2026/03/the-era-of-florence-price/) - The Cambridge Companion to Florence B. Price is the book I needed when I was a student.

Boom... plop! Woof! Vroom! Sound familiar? Like something out of a comic book, baby talk, or a cartoon? Not quite! These “funny little noises” are actually a serious linguistic topic – and they have a lot to tell us about how languages work, how we perceive the world, and why one culture’s “ding” might be another’s “gling-glong”.

Why do they seek in nature both their most unique (or “true”) personal self and at the same time a defining source of collective identity, such as the spirit of a region or a nation? Why does the environmental movement so often seek to preserve nature as a kind of cultural treasure for future appreciation, as in the National Park mode, rather than as an evolving network of relations in which humans also participate? And why do large segments of the environmental movement remain so persistently socially elite and White

For me, writing about Neil MacCormick, one of those key sources was hearing MacCormick’s voice.

Among many research designs, RCTs are often considered the gold standard—the most credible and respected form of evidence. In fact, authors of systematic reviews frequently exclude studies that use other methods. But is this preference always justified? In many cases, yes. Carefully designed RCTs test the efficacy of

Simon Williams (UC Santa Barbara) and I were invited to consider such an undertaking just under a decade ago; Simon had just published an encyclopedia of stage actors and acting, and this felt like a sensible next stage.

It was so overlooked that although article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights both state that everyone has the ‘right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion’, even legal scholars thought of those articles as only protecting freedom of conscience and religious freedom and belief.

The logic? Fear of punishment will cause individuals, groups, organizations, and the like to reduce their criminal activity, or, better yet, not to engage in it at all.

For sixty-six of the past seventy years, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has controlled Japan’s government. Since its formation in 1955, the LDP has failed to win a plurality of seats only once. In every other election to Japan’s most powerful parliamentary house, the LDP has consistently outperformed its rivals, often securing more than twice as many seats as its closest competitor. My book asks, how has this situation come about, and how is it sustained?

A week in Paris. All expenses paid. Was I dreaming? The small print, however, confirmed that there’s no such thing as a free déjeuner. I’d have to see a play every night and discuss it the next day with the cast and director. Groan.

During the Crypto Winter, millions of investors faced extensive losses due to technical failures, fraud, and misconduct within inadequately regulated crypto markets. The book aims to address these issues by examining the EU’s regulatory steps in the field of crypto and analysing whether the EU framework is fit for the institutionalisation of crypto recently observed.

Interpreters have little time for it. They call it “grotesque”, “shocking” or “morally perverse”. This is not surprising. The central thesis of Kant’s short piece is

- [Decoding Persuasion: A Linguistic Journey Through Manipulation and Influence](https://cambridgeblog.org/2025/02/decoding-persuasion-a-linguistic-journey-through-manipulation-and-influence/) - Well, not exactly. We can easily think about situations in which we tried to change someone else’s mind: begging parents for a toy, asking a reluctant friend to come to a dinner party, or making a case for your boss to grant you a few more paid days off. In other cases, we might be talking to a person who is ‘on the fence’ about something we are passionate about, and our goal is that they make up their mind in our favour. Sales pitches, funding applications, and even presidential debates fall into this category. Buy our product, vote for our candidate, fly with our airline – all of these messages, and the talk supporting them, are examples of linguistic persuasion.

An application of coloured pigments to a flat surface, be it a wall, a canvas, or a panel.

Ethnographies of Fiscal Relations](https://cambridgeblog.org/2025/01/anthropology-and-tax-ethnographies-of-fiscal-relations/) - Anthropology and tax might not appear to fit together at first sight. Taxation is often considered a highly technical and numerical subject, more suitable for lawyers, accountants and economists than social anthropologists,--given their expertise and focus on local and marginalized communities and socio-cultural relations. It is therefore unsurprising that within the discipline of anthropology, taxation is a relatively less explored topic, despite the central role that tax plays in society and social theory.

The basic idea is simple—we are social science “detectives,” and our goal is to find any and all information we can to help us figure out the best explanation for whatever we are studying, whether that’s how democratization came about in South Africa, or why South Korea initially managed a more effective response to COVID-19 than many other countries.

This agreement, I believe, is well-founded. With notable exceptions, Republican officials have either supported or turned a blind eye towards violent efforts – egged on by a Republican president – to overturn an election. Moreover, many Republicans now reflexively denounce any elections they lose as fraudulent, and are systematically preparing to steal future elections. American democracy is on its knees.

I outline the conceptual shifts involved in transforming a static view of nature into a dynamic view, where the branching evolutionary relationships between taxa are understood to be the products of the linear descent and divergence of evolving lineages. I discuss the enduring challenges of what I call lineage thinking, which involves weaving linear evolutionary narratives with branching evidence.

This perception is clearly apparent in twentieth-century literary theory, in which critical investigations of satire focused almost exclusively on a handful of male writers (Pope, Swift, Dryden, Rochester, etc.) and repeatedly affirmed that, in the words of David Worcester, “no woman has ever made a mark in satire.”

- [Immaterial Texts in Late Medieval England](https://cambridgeblog.org/2022/05/immaterial-texts-in-late-medieval-england/) - Medieval manuscripts are striking for their material properties. Comparing the cold screens of word processors, the animal skin—parchment—which books were written on is weirdly organic, even gross.
