Autocratic Audience Costs: Regime Type and Signaling Resolve
TL;DR: This article argued that the conventional hypothesis underestimates the extent to which non-democratic leaders can be held accountable domestically, allowing them to generate audience costs, and they identified three factors contributing to audience costs: domestic polit- ical groups can and will coordinate to punish the leader; whether the audience views backing down negatively; and whether outsiders can observe the possibility of domes- tic sanctions for backing down.

What's at stake in the agent-structure debate?
TL;DR: In this paper, an ontological case for adopting a transformational model of structure over the "positional" model developed in the work of Kenneth Waltz is presented. But the ontological model offers no conceptual or explanatory hold on those features of the international structure that are the intended products of state action, and the authors argue that the stakes in the agent-structure debate include the capacity to generate integrative structural theory and the ability to theorize the possibilities for peaceful change in the international system.

TL;DR: For centuries knowledge meant proven knowledge, proven either by the power of the intellect or by the evidence of the senses as discussed by the authors.
