Reply to Author’s Response to Essay 11 on Explaining the Iraq War

October 2, 2012February 2, 2017 By Richard Ned Lebow

Let me start by reiterating my enthusiasm from Prof. Harvey’s book and the skillful way in which he uses counterfactuals to expose and challenge the political assumptions that guide most liberal studies of the Iraq War. He does an effective job of demolishing the “neocon” thesis by demonstrating that there was wider opposition to Saddam…

Author’s Response to Essay 11 on Explaining the Iraq War

September 28, 2012February 2, 2017 By Frank P. Harvey

Richard Ned Lebow admits, in his very insightful review of my book on the Iraq war, that his initial reaction was to scoff at my counterfactual about an Al Gore presidency taking the same path to war, “until (he) read the book.” I suspect anyone who takes the time to read the book will recognize…

Review Essay 11 on Explaining the Iraq War: Counterfactual Theory, Logic and Evidence

September 7, 2012February 2, 2017 By Richard Ned Lebow

Frank Harvey is to be congratulated for producing an exemplary book. It makes sophisticated use of counterfactual argumentation to challenge the conventional wisdom about the causes of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. For methodological and substantive reasons it should be read by everyone with an interest in foreign policy. Any assertion of cause implies that,…

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…

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…

Roundtable 2-8 on How Terrorism Ends: Understanding the Decline and Demise of Terrorist Campaigns

June 10, 2011September 20, 2015 By H-Diplo

A little more than a decade ago, the world’s leading academic experts on terrorism could be gathered in a not very large conference room to discuss the state of the field. As a relatively junior researcher at the United States Institute of Peace at the time, I was in such a room several times. The…

Roundtable 2-5 on International Security in Practice: The Politics of NATO-Russia Diplomacy

March 14, 2011September 21, 2015 By H-Diplo

How does peace between states become an established social fact or part of the unquestioned order of things? This question drives Vincent Pouliot’s International Security in Practice, an innovative and provocative contribution to the theoretical literature on international security, with an empirical focus on post-Cold War Russian-Atlantic security relations.  While the challenge of theorizing the…

Article Review 2 on “We Cannot Go On: Disruptive Innovation and the First World War Royal Navy”

March 19, 2010September 18, 2015 By H-Diplo

Large military institutions are often portrayed as being inherently conservative and having a tendency to cope poorly with innovation. However, since some such challenges have been handled highly effectively, this knee-jerk assumption is clearly inaccurate. Moreover, it leaves open an interesting question: how can we explain the discrepancy between successful and unsuccessful adaptation to change?…
