TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that to be useful in accounting for state action, the concept of ''the national interest'' should be reconceptualized in constructivist terms.
Abstract: While the concept of `the national interest' has long been central to theories of international politics, its analytical usefulness has also been seriously challenged. I argue that, to be useful in accounting for state action, this concept should be reconceptualized in constructivist terms. I begin with a brief discussion of the conventional, realist notion of the national interest, lodging two criticisms against it. Then, starting from Wendt's recent constructivist interventions, I provide a constructivist reconceputalization of `the national interest'. I argue that national interests are produced in the construction, through the dual mechanisms of articulation and interpellation, of representations of international politics. This process of national interest construction is illustrated with a sketch of the production of the US national interest during the so-called `Cuban missile crisis'.

TL;DR: In this paper, the masses and decay constants of the light vector mesons are studied within a ladder-rainbow truncation of the coupled Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations of QCD with a model two-point gluon function.
Abstract: The masses and decay constants of the light vector mesons $\ensuremath{\rho}/\ensuremath{\omega},$ $\ensuremath{\varphi},$ and ${K}^{\ensuremath{\star}}$ are studied within a ladder-rainbow truncation of the coupled Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations of QCD with a model two-point gluon function. The approach is consistent with quark and gluon confinement, reproduces the correct one-loop renormalization group behavior of QCD, generates dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, and preserves the relevant Ward identities. The one phenomenological parameter and two current quark masses are fixed by requiring that the calculated ${f}_{\ensuremath{\pi}},$ ${m}_{\ensuremath{\pi}},$ and ${m}_{K}$ are correct. The resulting ${f}_{K}$ is within 3% of the experimental value. For the vector mesons, all eight transverse covariants are included and the dominant ones are identified; the complete angle dependence of the amplitudes is also retained. The calculated values for the masses ${m}_{\ensuremath{\rho}},$ ${m}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}},$ and ${m}_{{K}^{\ensuremath{\star}}}$ are within 5%, while the decay constants ${f}_{\ensuremath{\rho}},$ ${f}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}},$ and ${f}_{{K}^{\ensuremath{\star}}}$ for electromagnetic and leptonic decays are within 10% of the experimental values.

TL;DR: Results show that social media recommendations improve levels of media trust, and also make people want to follow more news from that particular media outlet in the future.
Abstract: Polls show a strong decline in public trust of traditional news outlets; however, social media offers new avenues for receiving news content. This experiment used the Facebook API to manipulate whether a news story appeared to have been posted on Facebook by one of the respondent's real-life Facebook friends. Results show that social media recommendations improve levels of media trust, and also make people want to follow more news from that particular media outlet in the future. Moreover, these effects are amplified when the real-life friend sharing the story on social media is perceived as an opinion leader. Implications for democracy and the news business are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and the quark propagator in the chiral limit were derived and the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity was preserved.
