Roundtable 7-17 on Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era: Regional Powers and International Conflict

May 31, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

How do we understand the nuclear strategies of regional powers and how successful are those strategies in deterring conflict? These are obviously important questions for students of world politics, but unfortunately they are also questions that have been largely ignored as scholars focused their attention on the nuclear superpowers of the bipolar era. Of course,…

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.

Roundtable 7-16 on Networks of Rebellion: Explaining Insurgent Cohesion and Collapse

May 11, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Understanding the nature of insurgencies has long been an important objective for political scientists, historians, and policymakers. In Networks of Rebellion, Paul Staniland argues that scholars have paid insufficient attention to the different organizational structures of insurgent groups. In his view, understanding organizational structure is crucial because “states and their foes spend far more time…

Roundtable 7-14 on The Pathologies of Power: Fear, Honor, Glory, and Hubris in U.S. Foreign Policy

March 9, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Why did the United States, despite vigorous public debates over the wisdom of invading Iraq, pursue an ultimately disastrous war with Iraq in 2003? After all, as John Stuart Mill and others have suggested, such debates in the ‘marketplace of ideas’ should surely have led to a solid consensus against such a course. Explaining why…

Article Review 31 on “The India−Pakistan Rivalry and Failure in Afghanistan.”

January 20, 2015October 4, 2015 By H-Diplo

In a timely article, John Mitton seeks to show how the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan has hampered NATO’s efforts in Afghanistan and contributed to its failure. The author is careful in noting that while the rivalry is not the only reason for failure, it certainly is a factor. The author also cites many…

Article Review 28 on “New Delhi’s Long Nuclear Journey: How Secrecy and Institutional Roadblocks Delayed India’s Weaponization”

October 7, 2014September 28, 2015 By H-Diplo

Gaurav Kampani investigates a crucial research puzzle in nuclear proliferation literature, namely, the possible underpinnings of India’s slow weaponization process. Addressing the period 1989-1999, he argues that despite acquiring nuclear weapons in 1989-1990, New Delhi lacked the capability to “deliver them reliably or safely until 1994-95 or possibly 1996” (81). According to Kampani, it was…

Roundtable 5-5 on Power and Willpower in the American Future: Why the United States is Not Destined to Decline

July 22, 2013December 24, 2020 By H-Diplo

Is the United States destined to decline in the twenty-first century? This is a seemingly simple question, but one that International Relations theorists seem destined to debate without resolution. How should we measure power? What are the most relevant economic and military indicators of national power? How should we weigh the various components of national…

Roundtable 3-18 on China, the United States, and Global Order

July 25, 2012September 28, 2015 By ISSF editor

In this new book, British scholars Rosemary Foot and Andrew Walter attempt to identify the factors that shape Chinese and American behavioral consistency (or lack thereof) with global governance norms and structures. They compare U.S. and Chinese compliance with five sets of norms: the non-use of force except in self-defense and the responsibility to protect,…
