Forum 8 on “Special Issue: The Origins of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime.”

May 18, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Last year, Scott Sagan declared – on H-Diplo – that we are in the midst of a renaissance in nuclear studies, driven by first-rate work by younger scholars.[1] Two qualities in particular mark this scholarship. First, many of these young scholars combine both methodological innovation and rigor while engaging new archival sources. Second, these scholars…

Article Review 36 on “Hans Morgenthau and the Tragedy of the Nation-State”

April 7, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Since the turn of the millennium, International Relations has been experiencing a revival of realist scholarship. As Konstantinos Kostagiannis writes in his thought-provoking paper on the classical realist Hans J. Morgenthau, part of this revival is due to the establishment of “tragedy as an analytical category and [the discussion of] its contemporary relevance for modern…

Roundtable 7-13 on The Great Powers and the International System Systemic Theory in Empirical Perspective

February 22, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

It is difficult for me to imagine an international relations (IR) scholar not being interested enough in Bear Braumoeller’s The Great Powers and the International System to read this review symposium. I’ll warrant that I’m biased on the matter, having been nurtured on systemic IR theory as an undergraduate and graduate student, liking books that…

Forum 4 on “An INS Special Forum: Implications of the Snowden Leaks”

February 3, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

From the very beginning of the nation’s history, intelligence has been set aside as a conspicuous exception to James Madison’s advocacy of checks-and-balances, spelled out in his Federalist Paper No. 51. The ‘auxiliary precautions’ that this key participant at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 (and later America’s fourth President) — the safeguards he had helped…

Article Review 32 on “On Domains: Cyber and the Practice of Warfare.”

January 22, 2015October 4, 2015 By H-Diplo

Over the last few decades one of the hottest subjects of debate in the social sciences has been the emergence of ‘cyber’ and its effects on all manner of social relationships and human communities.[1] The term itself is chronically contested and the understanding of the nature of cyberspace in the literature (i.e., its delimitation, composition,…

Roundtable 7-10, Beyond the Balance of Power: France and the Politics of National Security in the Era of the First World War

January 19, 2015September 23, 2015 By H-Diplo

The past decade has seen a renewal of interest in the international history of the 1920s. This interest is apparent in what might be called traditional state-centred studies of international politics.[1] But it is also evident in the burgeoning scholarship on international and transnational movements and organizations, many of which were not (or not simply)…

Review Essay 25 on Logics of War: Explanations for Limited and Unlimited Conflicts

December 10, 2014February 2, 2017 By Robert Trager

The book produced by Alex Weisiger is a substantial contribution to rationalist theory in international relations.  Weisiger investigates the effects of commitment problems in international bargaining on the conduct, duration, and destructiveness of wars.  The book is among only a few works that closely analyze international history from the perspective of recent developments in the…

Review Essay 22 on Counterinsurgency: Exposing the Myths of the New Way of War

April 18, 2014February 2, 2017 By Jacqueline L. Hazelton

Perhaps only Douglas Porch, with his encyclopedic knowledge of insurgency and counterinsurgency (COIN) and his broader military expertise, could have written this book. Counterinsurgency: Exposing the Myths of the New Way of War is a magisterial examination across time and space of the history of COIN. It is intended to dispel the myths propagated around…

Review Essay 18 on Governing the World: The History of an Idea

October 17, 2013February 2, 2017 By Jonathan Monten

Mark Mazower’s Governing the World surveys the evolution of internationalism over the last two centuries. Mazower’s history provides a rich description of how the concept of internationalism has been contested, altered, and manipulated since the early nineteenth century. After reviewing some of the key points in Mazower’s historical narrative, my review makes two points. First,…

Review Essay 16 on The Politics and Ethics of Identity: In Search of Ourselves

October 4, 2013February 2, 2017 By Mlada Bukovansky

Who else but Richard Ned Lebow would, in what is ostensibly a political science book, offer us a dystopian reading of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute, complete with the suggestion that a production of the opera should be set in Mao’s China during the Cultural Revolution? Was he envisioning an actual production, since he goes…
