Good morning!

• Obama became the first sitting president to visit Myanmar/Burma yesterday.  Plus, Amnesty International announced the release of political prisoners in the country yesterday, too.  It’s a little rare for the organization to “name and praise” instead of “name and shame” so I wonder about the logic of Amnesty’s press release….hmm…that’s an interesting research question
• Obama is also working on maritime disputes during his trip.  Check out Doug Gibler’s post on maritime disputes (and territorial disputes more generally) at The Monkey Cage

And:

• ISQ just posted a bunch of Early View articles in time for Thanksgiving reading.   Human rights people: check out Wade Cole’s piece and the piece by Emilie Hafner-Burton and James Ron.  Network people: check out Renato Corbetta‘s work and the work by Yuri M. Zhukov and Brandon M. Stewar.  I’m sure I’m missing linking quite a few important pieces – there were 14 new articles posted!
