April 9, 2020April 2, 2020 By Audrye Wong

April 1, 2020March 31, 2020 By Joe Burton

Do we really need another analysis of NATO enlargement? Hasn’t the topic been done to death? According to M. E. Sarotte’s article, “How to Enlarge NATO: The Debate inside the Clinton Administration, 1993–95,” there are some compelling reasons to reopen the debate on one of the most pivotal decisions of the post-Cold War era. Investigating…

Article Review 132 on “Hegemony Studies 3.0: The Dynamics of Hegemonic Order.”

March 19, 2020March 23, 2020 By Doug Stokes

In the age of purported American decline, the rise of China and changes in the international distribution of power, this highly ambitious special issue of Security Studies seeks to chart the emergence of new third-wave “hegemonic-order” theories.

February 20, 2020February 13, 2020 By Shoon Murray

In this tightly-written and richly-sourced article, Rosella Cappella Zielinski and Kaija Schilde offer a theory to explain why some U.S. presidents have been able to make targeted military spending cuts according to strategic needs whereas others were forced into blunt across-the-board cuts to assuage entrenched domestic interests. Although developed from U.S. cases, the authors expect…

Article Review 130 on “Partner Politics: Russia, China, and the Challenge of Extending US Hegemony after the Cold War.”

December 20, 2019December 12, 2019 By Huiyun Feng

There are good reasons to study Russia, China, and U.S. hegemony now. Facing common threats from the West, Russia and China have been moving closer since the 2010s.

Article Review 129 on “Why Did the United States Invade Iraq in 2003?”

November 14, 2019November 7, 2019 By Jordan Tama

Article Review 128 on “Vicarious Retribution in US Public Support for War against Iraq.”

October 17, 2019October 11, 2019 By Shana Kushner Gadarian

Sixteen years after the beginning of the Iraq War, American public support for the war remains a puzzle. Why would the public, scarred by the 9/11 terrorist attacks and overwhelmingly supportive of sending troops to Afghanistan to capture al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and fight terrorism,[1] be willing to use military force on a different…
