Looking forward to reading @edwardfishman's new book, Chokepoints, out today. Few have studied issues around economic statecraft with more intensity and insight than Eddie. My copy arrived last night while I was on a train...don't make the same mistake. amazon.com/dp/0593712978?ref…

Speaking as a former U.S. anti-corruption official, this is not a thing.

So delighted to share that my first book – Abiding Influence (@stanfordpress) – was officially approved for publication from the Stanford Faculty Editorial Board! The book will examine how #nationalism has impacted U.S. foreign policy in the #Asia Pacific. More to come soon!

How do experts and the public see the proposed U.S. Steel sale? How do scholars and the U.S. public characterize China, the EU, and India today? @A_Guisinger, @kleinberg_katja, and Anna Rowland explore these questions in @GoodAuth w/ TRIP Snap Poll data. Details in the thread!🧵

From my colleague @moritzgraefrath. This is worth your time if you are thinking about U.S. troops in Europe, the pivot to Asia, and/or the post-Russia-Ukraine War. @stephenWalt, @RyanAMusto, @Prof_MHolmes, @WillRuger, @MalikAmmar, @joshuachuminski, @amauritsvdv
New article by GRI Post-Doc @moritzgraefrath explores why U.S. troop withdrawals from Europe won't lead to a power vacuum. Read more on why retrenchment is a strategic opportunity for U.S. interests 👉 ow.ly/vaO750TSQ5L.

It was a privilege to participate in the workshop on nuclear weapon free zones (NWFZs) hosted by @UN_Disarmament @MFA_KZ @DisarmKaz in Astana this week. We looked to foster cooperation and consultation amongst NWFZs, and to strengthen regional denuclearization more broadly.

What is the best place to study IR at BA, MA, and PhD levels? Been doing this survey and reputational ranking with FP for 20 years. Lesson: Reputations are sticky! We added a 4th category (best PhD for policy work) and also surveyed policymakers and think tankers.
IR scholars across the United States, U.S. think tank staff, and policymakers weigh in on the best places to study for an undergraduate, terminal master’s, and doctoral degree in international relations. foreignpolicy.com/2024/07/30…

Thanks to generous support from @WMLibraries, my @IntHistReview article on the quest to get Brazil to fight in the Vietnam War is now Open Access. Check it out!
In the 1960s, the Johnson Administration tried to get Brazil to fight in the Vietnam War. No Latin American country mattered more for the U.S. Top Brazilian officials wanted it, too. So why didn’t it happen? Check out my article in @IntHistReview tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
