July 29, 2019July 30, 2019 By Linda J. Bilmes, Rosella Cappella Zielinski, Matthew DiGiuseppe, Paul Poast, A. Trevor Thrall, Sarah E. Kreps, Joshua Rovner

The relationship between war, taxes, and public opinion has long interested scholars of democracy and international security. In theory the fiscal costs of war should restrain leaders from starting them, especially if those costs are born by the public on whose support they rely. According to Sarah Kreps, however, American leaders have not been constrained…

July 15, 2019December 24, 2020 By Michael C. Desch, Paul K. MacDonald, Sergey Radchenko, Kori Schake, Stephen M. Walt, Robert Jervis

I think it is fair to say that over the past hundred years most academic students of international politics have urged the United States to take a more active position in the world, one that was more commensurate with its economic power and stake in what was happening around the globe.

June 25, 2019June 16, 2019 By Jan Ludvik

“Would U.S. leaders push the button?” Reid B. C. Pauly provocatively asks in the title of his recent International Security article.

May 23, 2019May 2, 2019 By Genevieve Lester, Richard Lacquement, Jr.

How does a democratic (U.S.) government wield secrecy? This is the core question of Andris Banka and Adam Quinn’s “Killing Norms Softly: US Targeted Killing, Quasi-Secrecy and the Assassination Ban,” which advances a theory of how norms of secrecy can be changed to serve executive needs.

Policy Series: Two Cheers for the Liberal World Order: The International Order and Rising Powers in a Trumpian World

February 22, 2019 By Rohan Mukherjee

The idea of a liberal rules-based international order has taken a beating lately, not just from the Trump presidency but also in the pages of academic and policy publications. The administration in Washington argues that the liberal order in the post-Cold War world no longer serves U.S. interests.[1] While this argument deserves scrutiny in light…

Article Review Forum 110 on “Why did the United States Invade Iraq in 2003?”

February 20, 2019November 20, 2019 By Joshua Rovner, Jeremy Pressman, Richard Hanania

Few issues arouse as much debate as the Iraq War. The decision to invade in 2003 was a milestone for U.S. foreign policy and Middle Eastern politics. Advocates of the war believed that the prior status quo was unsustainable, and that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s regime was a ruthless anachronism. The fact that Saddam had…

February 6, 2019December 24, 2020 By Ahsan I. Butt

Analyses of drones often generate more heat than light, but Aqil Shah’s article is a welcome change.
