However, he also pointed out that many IR scholars carry on the research as if identities do not matter. According to him, this leads to a systematic omitted variable bias that adversely impacts not only much of IR scholarship but also how the policy community conceptualizes and analyzes both security and non-security issues in world politics. The international collaborative project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makingidentitycount.org\/\">Making Identity Count<\/a>, in which Professor Vucetic joins as a core member, endeavors to build a constructivist, intersubjective database of all great power identities from 1950 to 2020 that will become the source for IR scholars who wish to include constructivist arguments in their scholarship. In the session, participants enjoyed discussion over the strengths and weakness of this project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/10\/we.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"280\" \/>\u201cCROP-IT (<strong>C<\/strong>ollaborative <strong>R<\/strong>esearch <strong>O<\/strong>n <strong>P<\/strong>olitical <strong>I<\/strong>nformation <strong>T<\/strong>ransmission) \u201d\u00a0 is funded by the <a class=\"addicn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jsps.go.jp\/english\/index.html\">Japan Society for the Promotion of Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 7, 2019, Associate Professor Srdjan Vucetic of the University of Ottawa gave a talk entitled \u201cHow to Bu [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5582,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[99,111],"class_list":["post-5279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-en-eape","tag-report-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
