New article I wrote with @HarknessKristen about our experience teaching civil-military relations using a simulation of a dictator's "end game" scenario! Will the military repress or defect? Do pro-democratic or theocratic opposition movements maneuver their way to power?
New teaching article out on simulating civil-military relations during mass uprisings and dictator end game scenarios! Can be used generically or adapted to specific historical and contemporary contexts.

Top headline on BBC is that PM is speaking on @BBCr4today about defence review. But more time in the interview spent questioning winter fuel payments. No wonder the great British public don't understand much about defence and security. BBC News -

Last year Merz called on Scholz to #FreeTaurus & proposed an ultimatum: if Russia didn’t halt attacks on Ukraine within 24hrs, 🇩🇪 should give 🇺🇦 Taurus. Herr Merz is @bundeskanzler now. Russia just launched the biggest air raid of the war. This is long overdue. Send Taurus now.
