Roundtable 13-11 on Grand Strategy from Truman to Trump

May 27, 2022June 7, 2022 By Paul Avey, Mariya Grinberg, Ionut Popescu, Hilde Eliassen Restad, Peter Dombrowski Benjamin Miller and Ziv Rubinovitz

This roundtable is a rarity, not for the H-Diplo/ISSF Roundtable Review series, of course, but for roundtables published in many journals and online fora; it begins with a serious, well-written book and continues with three serious, well-written, critical review essays.  There is not a clunker in the mix.  The complete package is a model for…

Roundtable 13-10 on Humane:  How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War

May 23, 2022May 24, 2022 By Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, Scott D. Sagan, Sarah B. Snyder, Samuel Moyn

Samuel Moyn raises many questions in his new, provocative book, Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War. The four reviews, by Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, and Scott D. Sagan, engage deeply, appreciatively, and critically with Moyn’s work.  For Nagaraja the book’s key question is, “how the post-9/11 Forever War…

Roundtable 13-9 on Arms Control for the Third Nuclear Age: Between Disarmament and Armageddon

March 24, 2022March 24, 2022 By Nancy Gallagher, Jeffrey A. Larsen, Thomas G. Mahnken, James J. Wirtz, David Cooper

Since the dawn of the nuclear age, three distinct approaches to nuclear strategy – disarmament, denial, and deterrence – have waxed and waned in importance as guides to US doctrine and policy.[1] Although champions of each of these approaches sometimes defend their position as if it represented the one true religion, each of these strategies…

Roundtable 13-8 on How Insurgency Begins: Rebel Group Formation in Uganda and Beyond

February 24, 2022February 17, 2022 By Jacqueline Hazelton, Asfandyar Ali Mir, Jonathan Schroden, Janet Lewis

The fundamental problem for insurgent groups is military poverty: they are weaker and poorer than the states they seek to overthrow. Efforts to increase their strength in numbers means exposing themselves to the state’s security forces. This creates a paradox: insurgents cannot radically revise the political status quo without growing, but the act of growing…

Roundtable 13-7 on The False Promise of Liberal Order

January 28, 2022January 30, 2022 By Alena Drieschova, Kjølv Egeland, William C. Wohlforth

The classic international relations debate between realism and liberalism has long been seen as rather old hat, if not reactionary, by scholars who are interested in new ways of understanding IR.  Yet in a post-Cold War world of American unipolar preponderance this dusty debate has taken on a new and unexpected angle.

Roundtable 13-6 on Scorecard Diplomacy: Grading States to Influence their Reputation and Behavior

January 14, 2022January 6, 2022 By Alexander Cooley, Asif Efrat, Jennifer L. Erickson, Judith Kelley

What convinces a country to adopt policies it might have previously eschewed as unimportant or against its interests? In practice, the global governance toolbox is notoriously limited. States, international organizations, and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that want other actors to change their behavior are typically reduced to selecting between the unsatisfying options of economic sanctions, military…

Roundtable 13-5 on Tempting Fate: Why Nonnuclear States Confront Nuclear Opponents

December 17, 2021December 10, 2021 By Lawrence Rubin, Rebecca Davis Gibbons, Kelly M. Greenhill, Jeffrey Kaplow, Abigail S. Post, Paul C. Avey

For over seventy years, the policy and academic communities have debated the effects of nuclear weapons on interstate relations.  In this saturated field of study, there is little consensus except that a nuclear war would be devastating and that nuclear weapons aren’t going away any time soon.

Policy Series 2021-58: Liberal Internationalism and Partisan Discontents into the Post-Trump United States

November 25, 2021November 27, 2021 By George N. Georgarakis, Robert Y. Shapiro

We completed this article in September 2021, just as the Taliban defeated the American-supported government of Afghanistan, and the United States worked to transport all of its citizens out of the country along with the people of Afghanistan who worked for and with its troops, contractors, and officials.  On the liberal internationalism front, this is…

November 15, 2021February 25, 2022 By Emma Ashford, Jeff D. Colgan, Anand Toprani, Maria Julia Trombetta, Jeffrey G. Karam, Rosemary A. Kelanic, Emily Meierding

Rosemary A. Kelanic’s, Black Gold and Blackmail: Oil and Great Power Politics and Emily Meierding’s, The Oil Wars Myth: Petroleum and the Causes of International Conflict are deeply engaging and important books that advance our knowledge on the politics of energy security.[1] Both books challenge many existing assumptions on the role of oil in international…

H-Diplo Roundtable XXIII-11 on The Revolution that Failed: Nuclear Competition, Arms Control, and the Cold War

November 12, 2021 By Fiona S. Cunningham, Charles L. Glaser, Vipin Narang, Marc Trachtenberg, Caitlin Talmadge, Brendan Rittenhouse Green

Do nuclear weapons revolutionize world politics?  For decades, the standard answer from international relations scholars has been a resounding yes.  This mainstream view, known as ‘The Theory of the Nuclear Revolution,’ is associated with scholars such as Kenneth Waltz, Robert Jervis, and Charles Glaser.  [1]It argues that nuclear weapons generate a condition of mutual vulnerability that…
