3pm, location: INTS 4107.  4TH floor of chass interdisciplinary bldg. south. Where we usually meet. Next setpol meeting March 10.

Our response to Michael Mann’s evolution article, chris is working on a list of topics to distribute to the players: at this point that means Chris, Gene, Hiroko, Dmytro and possibly Peter at a later stage. Don’t forget Ian Morris’s helpful overview of the sociocultural evolution lit in _the Measure of Man_.

Internet History Sourcebooks Project: Paul Halsall, Editor (ancient and medieval documentary sources)http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/Halsall/index.asp

City coding project: Working on web site at http://wsarch.ucr.edu/archive/data/setdataset.htm karl ryavec, a geographer at UC Merced, is working on cities.

Atlas Annotated Bibliography Project:  Put pages for this up on wsarch data web site.  Have someone go  through wilkinson’s bib for his workshop paper to look for maps.  See "History of the World: Every Year" territories of polities since 3150 BC  with nice music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymI5Uv5cGU4&feature=em-share_video_user

War and battle coding project: Levin Welch is going to work on this. Loranow, Eckhardt, Wright, Sorokin, Dupuy, SESHAT, a global geocoded list of battles and wars. Use the template that we have created (uploaded on the Wsarch website). This procedure ensures that the analyst does not receive significant results for a Granger-causal relationship due solely to non-stationarity in the data plate for a war network data set.  Focus first on areas and times for which we already have trade network data. Get help from Thompson, Wilkinson and Cioffi. Battles, conquests, sieges, arms races, alliances. Networks of enmity and alliance. Thanks to gene for central asia sources. Victoria Hui is coding East Asian polities and interstate wars. Look again at JS Lee to see if his wars were really internal. See The Asian Review of World Histories at http://www.thearwh.org/   cool stuff. Hiroko found Peter Brecke’s war data set. David Kang sent us his article and dataset on East Asian warfare from 1368 to 1841 CE.

Can we use the loranow article on Mesopotamia to code variations in the level of warfare for our psa paper?

Trade data: Ciolek. Which are the good studies? He includes all the maps he can find that show connections among nodes. Sakin is looking for ottoman trade netwoks data. Be careful about whole system networks that show the links and non-links among all nodes and ego networks that show the links to a particular city or set of cities. Those are 2 different things.

Capital Vol 1. p. 760 note 4, the effects of rate of return on risktaking.:
Marx quotes T.J. Dunning, l.c., pp.35-36
”Capital is said by a Quarterly Reviewer to fly turbulence and strife, and to be timid, which is very true; but this is very incompletely stating the question. Capital eschews no profit, or very small profit, jst as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate profit, capital is very bold.  A certain 10 per cent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent certain will produce eagerness; 50 per cent positive audacity; 100 per cent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 per cent and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both. Smuggling and the slave-trade have amply proved all that is here stated.”
