Hello Twitter! 👋 We are ELISS - Experimental Lab for International Security Studies; a Prague-based interdisciplinary research group funded by @CharlesUniPRG’s PRIMUS program (...) 1/4

A fascinating new paper by @josh_byun & @carsonaust! (And I'm happy to see our recent experimental work w/ @ProfOnderco cited in APSR once again!)

Excited to share that my first academic article has been published in @European_Sec 🚀 It explores expert and media views on the implications of drone warfare and the "revolution" narrative, drawing on an original survey study. You can access the paper via https://t.co/9sOYgwIv1y

1/3 🚨 Job alert 🚨 We are offering a full-time researcher position in Prague for our four-year EU-funded project on foreign interference and emerging technologies (INTERFER). The researcher would be based at our partner institution @IIR_Prague.

S Barborou Tachecí o ruských jaderných výhružkách, čínské jaderné expanzi, severokorejské jaderné strategii, NATO a dalších tématech: https://t.co/gGUJnDDtef

Israel, Gaza, and the Failure of Czech Human Rights Policy, by @MichalSmetana3 and @dan_prokop https://t.co/CC0RfxLF5i

🇨🇿🇮🇱 Why does the Czech government still provide uncritical support to Israel despite mounting evidence of severe violations of international law? @MichalSmetana3 and @dan_prokop dive into this question in our newest policy brief. 👇

🎉 We are happy to officially welcome Isabelle Haynes as a new member to our @ERC_Research #MICROCODE team! She is a new Ph.D. candidate at the @imsfsvuk and in her research, she will investigate cross-national heterogeneity in public support for the collective defence principle.

Útok USA na Írán byla strategická chyba. Podle analytika @MichalSmetana3 se výrobě bomby může země paradoxně přiblížit mnohem víc než dřív. V zemi chybí mezinárodní dohled, útoky zhoršily možnost diplomatických jednání a zůstala zařízení skrytá i hluboko pod zemí.

Genocida, nebo ne? Překročil Izrael tuto hranici? Podle bezpečnostního experta @MichalSmetana3 není tak důležité samotné označení, ale to, že pokud existuje podezření na takové zločiny, mělo by tomu mezinárodní společenství zabránit.

1/3 My new article on Iran and its nuclear program has been published in @WarOnTheRocks

1/2 Our new paper (w/ @mVranka & @OndrejRosendorf) on public support for nuclear arms control has just been published in @EuroJournIR (open access link to the full article is in the next post)

Just published: New @ERC_Research research report on NATO's collective defense credibility! ✍️ #MICROCODE Our latest survey of the U.K. public and parlamentarian elites found that in case of a Russian attack, the public would be less supportive of defending their NATO ally.

1/10 Would NATO defend its Eastern European allies from Russian attack? Our new @ERC_Research MICROCODE project has fresh findings on elite-public gaps in views on NATO's collective defense commitments.

1/ 7 🧵 Next week, I'm travelling to @europeanisa EWIS in Kraków to present our new @ERC_Research paper on Trump's foreign policy and its impact on the perceptions of the NATO's credibility. The key findings:

I would like to thank the awarding committee for selecting my paper as well for the conference itself. It’s a great feeling and experience as a whole!

If you follow the Iran nuclear program, I recommend you use your translation tool and read this excellent analysis of why Iran chose a latency strategy to maximize negotiating leverage. It also helped me understand the game theory on why Israel would attack before the Oman talks.

1/ Nejčastější (a naprosto férová) otázka: proč Írán obohacuje uran na koncentraci 60% U-235 (velmi blízko 90% „weapon-grade“), pokud se (zatím) nerozhodnul vyrobit jaderné zbraně?

The main outcome of our two-year Stanton Foundation project has now been accepted for publication in the European Journal of International Relations 🔥 @eliss_lab @prcprague
