I learnt of the CEDS through the brilliant works of Michael J. Strauss on Territorial Leasing. Strauss claims to be an alumni, here are the sources:

I changed one of the references on the page, as it was my own dissertation, which I did not particulary appreciate being used to attack Pascal Chaigneau, or to prove any links between CEDS and Africa. It was an example of using a source without reading it, as I say nothing about Chaigneau's affiliations in my thesis, other than his official status, as marked in his publications. - Dr. Christopher Griffin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.1.161.159 (talk) 09:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

edit war on whether e-International Relations should even be referenced in the article

@ User:Crusio Why did I mention e-IR in the CEDS page? because so far I know no other. If you censor the primer of this reference you are merely denying Wikipedia its fundamental snowballing effect and the collective intelligence to occur in its editing. Namely, one will bring another reference, and some editor just like you will say :"why do you just mention this?". In a nutshell: small editing is not tantamount to partiality. It has taken me a long time to find, read and quote the three (seriously long) e-IR references I have added here. It has taken you a little (taxpayer paid by the way) time to just dismiss them with the back of your hand. Do you realize this attitude is not only unfair but impedes the whole wikipedia magic of collective bit-by-bit editing?GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 11:48, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

• Do you mean to say that members of the CEDS have only published in this e-journal/magazine? I find that difficult to believe. Please see WP:UNDUE on why this has no place in this article. Also, please assume good faith in your comments. Nobody is here to damage your work or to be unfair. --Crusio (talk) 11:55, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
