Violators of cooperation norms may be informally punished by their peers.
How such norm enforcement is judged by others can be regarded as a meta-norm (i.e., a
second-order norm). We examined whether meta-norms about peer punishment vary

who over-harvested a common resource was punished either ...

We revisit and empirically evaluate crucial yet under-examined arguments articulated in “God Gave Physics the Easy Problems” (2000), the authors of which emphasized that in IR predictions predominant nomothetic approaches should be supplemented with concrete scenario thinking. We test whether the IR predictive toolkit is in fact dominated by nomothetic generalizations and, more broadly, map ...

Among the negative predictors of sexual freedom, cultural complexity has been always mentioned as most important.

the Russian and Brazilian agrarian ...
