Forum 27 on Rules for Rebels:  The Science of Victory in Militant History

May 28, 2021May 20, 2021 By Martha Crenshaw, Audrey Kurth Cronin, James J. Wirtz

As Max Abrahms tells the tale, terrorism, which is the use of violence against civilian targets to achieve positive political objectives, is doomed to failure.  He supports this observation with quantitative and qualitative analysis, which draws heavily on contemporary history and the literature on terrorism and political psychology, to explain how and why terrorism fails…

March 11, 2021March 11, 2021 By Elizabeth N. Saunders, Raphael S. Cohen, Benjamin Wilson, Robert Jervis

When Ben Rhodes, a top foreign policy adviser to President Barack Obama, dubbed the Washington foreign policy establishment the “Blob,”[1] one question that probably occurred to many H-Diplo/ISSR readers was, “What will Jervis think of this?”

Forum 25 on the Importance of White House Presidential Tapes in Scholarship

November 2, 2020February 10, 2021 By Matthew Evangelista, James Goldgeier, Elizabeth N. Saunders, Luke A. Nichter, Marc Trachtenberg

It was the third day of demonstrations around the White House.  The president had called out some 10,000 military forces, including paratrooper units of the 82nd Airborne Division, to handle the protesters.  His chief of staff proposed recruiting teamsters to provoke violence.  The president enthusiastically agreed: “they’ve got guys who’ll go in and knock their…

Forum 22 on “Aspects of the Global Nuclear Order in the 1970s”

July 12, 2019July 13, 2019 By Fabian Lüscher, Nicholas L. Miller, Maria Rentetzi

Efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons have been in the news lately, given the U.S. negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear weapons facilities and missile sites and with Iran after President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement that President Barack Obama and the leaders of other nations had finalized with Iran to…

Forum 21 on “Global Nuclear Order.” Diplomacy & Statecraft 29:1

June 21, 2019June 25, 2019 By Philipp C. Bleek, Michael Cohen, Anne I. Harrington, Nicola Leveringhaus, Francis J. Gavin, Joseph Siracusa

Nuclear strategy can be a difficult subject to study. In the end, our main preoccupation is understanding why there has not been a thermonuclear war, and what we can do to continue this streak. It is close to impossible to craft definite statements about an event that never happened. We have a strong hunch that…

Policy Forum on the 2019 European Elections

June 7, 2019December 24, 2020 By Michael C. Behrent, Eszter Babarczy, Olivier Costa, Laura Fasanaro, Till van Rahden

Elections to the European Parliament are in many respects the ugly duckling of the European election cycle. They lack the obvious importance and immediate repercussions of presidential and parliamentary elections, yet they undeniably embody the core of the European ideal, even in its current battered and beleaguered state. The European Parliament’s 751 members are, after…

Article Review Forum 110 on “Why did the United States Invade Iraq in 2003?”

February 20, 2019November 20, 2019 By Joshua Rovner, Jeremy Pressman, Richard Hanania

Few issues arouse as much debate as the Iraq War. The decision to invade in 2003 was a milestone for U.S. foreign policy and Middle Eastern politics. Advocates of the war believed that the prior status quo was unsustainable, and that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s regime was a ruthless anachronism. The fact that Saddam had…

Policy Forum on the 2018 Italian Election

October 31, 2018October 30, 2018 By Leopoldo Nuti, Harvey B. Feigenbaum, Renato Moro, Giovanni Orsina

The Italian political elections of March 2018 seem to have marked a profound discontinuity in the country’s political history. The clear winners—namely the Five Stars Movement and the League—were two (relatively) new political forces which had very little in common with each other, except their outspoken intention to steer the path of Italian politics in…
