H-Diplo|RJISSF Roundtable 15-1 on Goscha, The Road to Dien Bien Phu

September 5, 2023August 29, 2023 By Tuong Vu, Martin Grossheim, Stein Tønnesson, Claire Thi Liên Tran,Alex-Thai Dinh Vo, Christopher Goscha

How was the Vietnamese Communist state formed? In Christopher Goscha’s The Road to Dien Bien Phu, that state was initially an “archipelago state” (1945–49)—“archipelago” in the sense of both its territorial shape and its coalitional politics—which then transformed into a “War Communist state” (since 1950), one that was dominated at the core by the Communist…

March 3, 2023March 12, 2023 By Malcolm Byrne, Lloyd Gardner, James G. Hershberg, Arturo Jimenez-Bacardi, Robert J. McMahon, Leopoldo Nuti

My first memory of John Prados is in the mid-1980s at my then-boss Scott Armstrong’s house in Washington, DC. I was just starting out at the National Security Archive, an organization Scott had taken the lead in founding, and then becoming its first director. I had previously been Scott’s researcher at the Washington Post on a project…

January 30, 2023February 4, 2023 By R. Gerald Hughes, Peter Mancina, Anna Meier, Katharine Petrich, Michael A.K.G. Innes

We must act against the criminal menace of terrorism with the full weight of the law, both domestic and international. We will act to indict, apprehend, and prosecute those who commit the kind of atrocities the world has witnessed in recent weeks. We can act together as free peoples who wish not to see our…

H-Diplo Essay 380- Christopher R. Browning on Learning the Scholar’s Craft

October 26, 2021October 21, 2021 By Christopher R. Browning

My parents were both raised and educated in California.   My father, with ABD status at UC Berkeley, was hired as an instructor in the Philosophy Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1940 but—as a Norman Thomas socialist, anti-segregationist, and pacifist—was dismissed from that job two years later.  He quickly took…

December 21, 2020December 18, 2020 By James J. Wirtz, Jonathan D. Caverley, Keith Shimko, James H. Lebovic

The study of bureaucracy as an influence in the formulation and conduct of foreign and defense policy has receded in popularity since its heyday during the 1960s and 1970s. Today, the limits of bureaucratic processes, the influence of the decorum generated by organizational culture or even the constraints created by the overall structure of government…

March 29, 2017March 26, 2017 By Michael McKoy

In an analytical review of alliance research, James Morrow posed the title question, “Alliances: why write them down?”[1] A decade and a half later, Keren Yarhi-Milo, Alexander Lanoszka, and Zack Cooper revisit this issue, posing their own title question: “To arm or to ally?” Yarhi-Milo, Lanoszka, and Cooper pose this question through the structural lens…

Roundtable 9-9 on Endurance and War: The National Sources of Military Cohesion

January 3, 2017December 24, 2020 By Alexander B. Downes, Brendan Rittenhouse Green, Phil Haun, Austin Long, Caitlin Talmadge, Jasen J. Castillo

The study of military effectiveness in political science has come a long way in a short period of time. When I started graduate school in the mid-1990s, most of the key works on the subject were written by historians and sociologists rather than political scientists.[1] Beginning in the late 1990s, however, military effectiveness began to…

Article Review 51 on “The Korea Syndrome: An Examination of War-Weariness Theory.” Journal of Cold War Studies 17:3

April 7, 2016February 2, 2017 By Paul C. Avey

For many, the U.S. experience in Iraq casts a large shadow over the current American willingness to utilize military force. This ‘Iraq-syndrome’ is a part of the broader war-weariness theoretical claim that following major conflicts – and particularly inconclusive or controversial ones – the public and policymakers will be hesitant to fight. If there were…
