Review Essay 15 on Action and Reaction in the World System: the Dynamics of Economic and Political Power

July 25, 2013February 2, 2017 By Charles G. Cogan

As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, the world has become complex, heterogeneous, and unstable. States do not accept a higher authority above themselves. The United Nations Security Council has hardly ever functioned with one voice and is currently immobile because of the blocking power of Russia and China. Third World countries…

May 17, 2013December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

Article Review 18 on “The Offshore Balancing Thesis Reconsidered: Realism, the Balance of Power in Europe, and America’s Decision for War in 1917.”

January 24, 2013September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

Galen Jackson’s article on America’s entry into World War I and the “off-shore balancing thesis” is an excellent work of scholarship. Jackson takes on an important topic for both international relations theorists and diplomatic historians and convincingly shows that U.S. leaders did not intervene in the war because they feared Germany was winning – a…

Roundtable 4-5 on Good Fences, Bad Neighbors: Border Fixity and International Conflict

November 2, 2012September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

Boaz Atzili’s Good Fences, Bad Neighbors: Border Fixity and International Conflict explores the impact of the norm of border fixity that has arisen in world politics since 1945. He questions the view that a norm of border fixity reliably promotes peace; instead, he argues, the effect of the norm depends on conditions, and under today’s…

Roundtable 4-1 on The Cold War and After: History, Theory, and the Logic of International Politics

September 3, 2012December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

The relations between the disciplines of history and political science have always been both close and, partly for that reason, contested.   Political science grew in part out of history, which led its practitioners to be both deeply imbued with historical knowledge and to need to differentiate themselves from the study of history. Until about…

Roundtable 3-19 on How Wars End

August 1, 2012September 28, 2015 By H-Diplo

Historians and political scientists alike should appreciate Dan Reiter’s How Wars End. It eschews statistical analysis for comparative case-studies because the answers are “complex and nuanced” (6) and defers formal proofs for plain-language explanations. The six empirical chapters are based on case-specific puzzles rather than theory-driven questions. The three reviewers—Dale Copeland, Hein Goemans, and Zachary…

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…

Article Review 13 on “The Collapse of North Korea: Military Missions and Requirements.”

April 13, 2012September 14, 2017 By Brendan M. Howe

Bruce Bennett and Jennifer Lind provide what can only be described as a most timely analysis of the challenges facing external actors in the event of a collapse in North Korea following “the most difficult challenge that such regimes face: succession” (84).They correctly identify not only the internal weaknesses of the Democratic People’s Republic of…

Roundtable 3-6 on “The CIA and U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1947: Reforms, Reflections and Reappraisals”

December 14, 2011November 20, 2019 By H-Diplo

The special issue of Intelligence and National Security, Volume 26, April-June 2011 continues the process of bringing intelligence in from the cold.  It is to be hoped that the reviews here contribute to the parallel process of familiarizing diplomatic historians with what is known about intelligence and bringing in two fields closer together.  We are…
