New in @AJPS_Editor with @CarlyNWayne @mitsurumu @Prof_MHolmes: how do group dynamics affect assessments of resolve and costly signals? https://t.co/iqzMcWd3Dk

With the election around the corner, what does political science tell us about how the green transition affects voting? Here’s a thread jam-packed with climate politics and elections research ⬇️

Let the record show that @AndiCJoe's talents extend far beyond the study of territorial conflict cc @Harvard_GovDept

I enjoyed discussing @drtwille's fascinating research today at @EuropeAtHarvard on populist governments' trust paradox: they try to "take back control" and cooperate outside of rigid institutional arrangements, but this requires trust that these governments can't create

A huge thanks to @adi_scheibler Jeeyoung Lee and Jenny Rossetti for helping co-organize, and to everyone for coming out! See you at the Bake-Off…

And congratulations to Team IR (@RochelleSun @MichaelBCerny Tayla Ingles John Koo Jing Ling Tan Elias Tamer Shriya Yarlagadda Jamie Nakhla) who came an incredibly close second, but tragically underestimated the depth of Denmark's deepest lake (cc @MarcHvidkjaer)

In a nail-biting event, the political theorists successfully defended their title at Gov Family Feud, @Harvard_GovDept's annual trivia competition. Congratulations to @ju_marchant @AntoniaMaioni Sima Biondi Chris Hopson Dan Carpenter and walk-on Peter Hall on eking out victory!

Delighted to share a new article in @ForeignAffairs by me and Jeff Friedman challenging the idea that presidential elections are all about "the economy, stupid." In 2024, as in the past, foreign policy is shaping the campaign - and vice versa:

How do domestic politics shape powerful states' engagement with international orders? In a new 🚨 @SecStudies_Jrnl article 🚨, I look at Ming and Qing emperor legitimacy needs and Chinese tribute exchanges between the 14th and 19th centuries:  https://t.co/ME9ELrKdAO

I'm thrilled to announce the beginning of my month of saying no to everyone

Not too late to apply for Harvard's junior IR search! FYI - there's weird language in the ad about "≥ 1 letter must come from someone who has not served as the candidate's advisor" -- this apparently just means other committee members (we didn't write it!)
