• Pelc asks why some countries get better WTO accession terms than others.
• Burton, Helfer, and Fariss examine and attempt to explain states' derogation (temporary legal suspension) of their obligations under human rights treaties during crises.
• Salehyan, Gleditsch, and Cunningham analyze when states will support rebel groups (and when rebel groups will accept that support).
