The Lighter Side of IR

Here's a funny post I found on Foreign Policy's website. Antonio Castro (yes, Fidel's son) got duped into an 8 month online relationship with a man, posing as a woman named, "Claudia." Along with being fooled into talking with this man for 8 months, Antonio gave "Claudia" advanced information about a trip to Mexico, and details of a far from average lifestyle that included gorgeous beaches, and Lacoste shirts. You can read the article here.

Anybody who followed this blog for its brief lifetime saw its ups and downs. I AM still currently looking for guest writers if anyone would like to submit an article. The same guidelines apply:

1) At least 750 words long.

2) Must be relevant to the blog title and previous posts (this should be obvious). I will accept posts on subjects other than those provided but should be in the same guidelines of IR, Geopolitics, etc. I would be especially interested in seeing articles utilizing theories of Marxism and Critical Geopolitics.

3) I reserve the right to deny any article written for any reason. I also reserve the right to decide whether I will give you a reason for my decision. Along those lines, I will try and give you a reason why, but I like to keep my options open.

4) Any article accepted will be posted on Digg, and other social media websites.

Please email me your article at c.kirkland(at)sussex(dot)ac(dot)uk. Please make the subject "BLOG" (ensure all caps, I may just delete it otherwise). I look forward to restarting this blog and (hopefully) having a healthy, informed discussion of international politics.
