Policy Series 2021-28: The Denouement: Revisiting Trump as History

May 6, 2021April 30, 2021 By Ryan Irwin

Over breakfast recently, my daughter asked whether things would ever go back to normal.  She dropped the question a few days after Donald Trump incited the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol.  President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration was still a week or two away.  I like to tell myself I’m good in these moments, and I…

Policy Series: “Trumpism, History, and the Future of U.S. Foreign Relations”

April 18, 2017September 4, 2017 By Frank Ninkovich

Trying to make critical sense of the current state of foreign affairs is treacherous business for anyone, but for an historian it comes close to pursuing a death wish. Even with all the advantages of hindsight, the past remains shrouded to varying degrees, while decoding the present is like trying to see through a blinding…

Roundtable 9-2 on Diplomacy’s Value: Creating Security in 1920’s Europe and the Contemporary Middle East

September 30, 2016February 1, 2017 By James McAllister, Stacie E. Goddard, Rose McDermott, Brian McKercher, Brian Rathbun

It seems obvious that an understanding of the nature and value of diplomacy should be of central importance to the study of international relations. However, as Brian Rathbun argues in his important new book, the sad reality is that international relations theorists have devoted little time or attention to systematically exploring the value of diplomacy….

Roundtable 8-10 on The Global Transformation: History, Modernity and the Making of International Relations

February 22, 2016February 2, 2017 By Richard Ned Lebow, Edward Keene, Jennifer Mitzen, Ayşe Zarakol, Barry Buzan and George Lawson

Barry Buzan and George Lawson have produced a book of grand scope that examines the multiple ways modernity has influenced the world and our theories about it. What they call the ‘global transformation’ brought about a shift from a polycentric world to a core-periphery order centered on the West.   In the process, according to…

June 18, 2014December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

The following piece is a response to part of the Forum on “What We Talk About When We Talk About Nuclear Weapons.” In his recent Jack Ruina Nuclear Age lecture at MIT, Robert Jervis – arguably our most important scholar of nuclear dynamics – reminded his audience how little we actually know about the influence…

Forum 2 on “What We Talk About When We Talk About Nuclear Weapons.”

June 15, 2014December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

Over the past decade, two intellectual renaissances have emerged in the field of nuclear security studies. The first is in political science, where exciting new research has been published about such important subjects as the causes of nuclear weapons proliferation, the linkages between the growth of civilian nuclear power and the spread of nuclear weapons,…

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…
