January 27, 2023January 13, 2023 By William Inboden, Conrad Crane, Todd Greentree, Elisabeth Leake, Jeffrey H. Michaels

Just over 21 years ago, the United States invaded Afghanistan. Just over one year ago, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. Understanding the two decades in between, which became by almost any measure America’s longest war, will continue to occupy and often bedevil scholars and policymakers for years to come. The two books under review…

May 23, 2022May 24, 2022 By Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, Scott D. Sagan, Sarah B. Snyder, Samuel Moyn

Samuel Moyn raises many questions in his new, provocative book, Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War. The four reviews, by Anne Kornhauser, Jana K. Lipman, Tejasvi Nagaraja, and Scott D. Sagan, engage deeply, appreciatively, and critically with Moyn’s work.  For Nagaraja the book’s key question is, “how the post-9/11 Forever War…

Article Review 156- “White Supremacy, Terrorism, and the Failure of Reconstruction in the United States.”

April 5, 2022March 31, 2022 By Jason M. Blazakis

The United States is inexorably linked to the stain of white supremacy. It is a stain that has been difficult to erase despite multiple inflection points and opportunities to reckon with America’s racist past. The Reconstruction Era of 1865 to 1877 that followed the Civil War provided the first opportunity for the United States to…

Review Essay 64 on America’s Entangling Alliances: 1778 to the Present

March 30, 2022March 24, 2022 By Eric Grynaviski

Much of the scholarly debate about President Donald Trump’s foreign policy concentrated on whether he had renewed traditional U.S. skepticism of entangling alliances with European states. Jason Davidson’s America’s Entangling Alliances argues that such a view is inaccurate. The United States made alliances from its birth. And, in doing so, it secured important American interests…

Policy Series 2021-60: Trump and Russia—Less than Meets the Eye

February 4, 2022January 28, 2022 By Angela Stent

After all the controversy, accusations, angry tweets, impeachment hearings, and conspiracy theories, how is the Trump administration’s Russia policy to be assessed? Russia consumed an unprecedented amount of domestic energy during Trump’s presidency, casting a shadow over the White House during the four years Trump lived there. And yet there has been scant systematic analysis…

Policy Series 2021-59: Racialized Threats and Security Rationales in U.S. Immigration Policies

January 21, 2022January 13, 2022 By Audie Klotz

In late August 2021, Afghans huddled in military airplanes amidst a massive evacuation. Crowds at the airport gates were denied access, then targeted by suicide bombers. These dramatic images encapsulate how security studies scholars typically view migration: refugees as a collateral consequence of conflict; innocent women and children in need of humanitarian assistance; asylum applicants…

Article Review 153 on “The Obama Administration and Syrian Chemical Weapons: Deterrence, Compellence, and the Limits of the “Resolve plus Bombs” Formula.”

December 8, 2021December 8, 2021 By Doreen Horschig

In this article Wyn Bown, Jeffrey Knopf, and Matthew Moran examine Syria’s possession and use of chemical weapons (CW) and third-party response.  In this context, they assess how compellence succeeded in Syria when deterrent efforts had initially failed.  President Barack Obama had set a ‘red line’ that signaled U.S. commitment to punish the Syrian regime…

Article Review 151 on “The United States and the NATO Non-extension Assurances of 1990”

November 11, 2021November 4, 2021 By Julie Garey

The November 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall ushered in myriad discussions about German reunification.  In addition to questions about the domestic future of Germany, concerns over who would be responsible for Germany’s security and stability and with whom the new German state would ally persisted.  Marc Trachtenberg revisits the February 1990 meeting wherein United…

Roundtable 13-3 on Covert Regime Change: America’s Secret Cold War

November 5, 2021November 5, 2021 By Ryan Grauer, Jenna Jordan, Jon R. Lindsay, Lindsey O'Rourke, Joshua Rovner

The United States repeatedly tried to overthrow foreign governments during the Cold War.  More often than not, U.S. leaders chose covert regime change rather than overt military intervention.  Their persistence suggests that the story of the Cold War has as much to do with secret maneuvers as it does with nuclear strategy or conventional military…

October 20, 2021October 15, 2021 By Kathryn C. Statler

Forewarned by a number of other world leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron was well-prepared for the infamous Donald Trump handshake.  On 25 May 2017 at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Brussels, the two world leaders met for the first time.  With cameras clicking and video rolling, President Trump praised Macron’s “tremendous victory”…
