Review Essay 8 on A Contest for Supremacy: China, America, and the Struggle for Mastery in Asia

June 27, 2012December 24, 2020 By Ja Ian Chong

In A Contest for Supremacy: China, America, and the Struggle for Mastery in Asia, Aaron Friedberg argues that fundamental ideological differences, coupled with tensions inherent in power transition, have placed the United States (U.S.) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on a path toward increasing competition, and, potentially, collision. For all its apprehensiveness about…

June 18, 2012September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

International crises often give rise to commissions designed to assess the origins of the crises and to generate reforms that might improve American foreign and defense policies.

Article Review 14 on “Present at the Creation: Edward Mead Earle and the Depression-Era Origins of Security Studies.”

June 15, 2012September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

In this article, the Tufts University historian David Ekbladh recalls the intellectual and institution-building work of a pre-Cold War professor of international relations, Edward Mead Earle (1894-1954).[1] Earle was one among many progressive (in his case a self-identified “new historian”) critics of American imperialism in the 1920s who revised their views and in some cases…

Roundtable 3-15 on Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy: Iraq, 9/11, and Misguided Reform

June 4, 2012January 22, 2021 By H-Diplo

Intelligence is an odd area of study.  While it has always been fascinating to the general public, until recently it was the “missing dimension” of foreign policy, ignored by serious scholars because information was lacking and it had the stigma of being the playground for cranks if not frauds.  The increasing availability of documents, a…

Review Essay 6 on The Shadow of the Past: Reputation and Military Alliances before the First World War

May 31, 2012February 2, 2017 By David Stevenson

Gregory Miller’s book begins with a theoretical discussion of the importance of ‘reputation’ in international politics, before analysing its role in four case studies taken from European diplomacy before 1914. To a quite unusual extent, his study consists of an extended critique of a single book – and one published in the same series with…

Author’s Response to Article Review 13 on “The Collapse of North Korea: Military Missions and Requirements.”

May 25, 2012November 20, 2019 By Bruce Bennett, Jennifer Lind

Many of the specific questions raised about our article’s limitations by the commentators are, indeed, true, but they reflect the stated approach of the paper.  North Korea is a country where the uncertainties are great, and this is no truer than in trying to anticipate a future North Korean government collapse and potential transition to…
