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.

This creates a paradox: insurgents cannot radically revise the political status quo without growing, but the act of growing…

This is a very special issue of the H-Diplo/International Security Studies Forum (ISSF).

Policy Series 2021-60: Trump and Russia—Less than Meets the Eye

February 4, 2022January 28, 2022 By Angela Stent

After all the controversy, accusations, angry tweets, impeachment hearings, and conspiracy theories, how is the Trump administration’s Russia policy to be assessed? Russia consumed an unprecedented amount of domestic energy during Trump’s presidency, casting a shadow over the White House during the four years Trump lived there.

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.

Review Essay 61 on Pedagogical Journeys Through World Politics

January 26, 2022January 25, 2022 By Eric Van Rythoven
