Delighted that my new book, Ideology and Mass Killing: The Radicalized Security Politics of Genocides and Deadly Atrocities, has been published today by @OUPAcademic! Cover/endorsements attached. Here's a🧵 with discount code, contents, free chapter, and summary. Please share. 1/

Delighted that my article ‘The logic of idealization in political theory’, which substantially reformulates the debate over idealization and ideal/non-ideal theory, is now out in the latest American Journal of Political Science. Available open-access! .

Please note that the ‘interview dates’ listed in the job adverts are wrong - interviews will be held in July.

These represent three key hires for our department, which has grown at an amazing pace (now 90 permanent faculty)! It is a terrific and unusually interdisciplinary place to work with a great sense of community. So please help spread the word, and apply if you are interested! 4/4.

They have a different balance of education, research and admin responsibilities, and different tailored promotion criteria to other academic appointments. But they are otherwise the same: in pay scale, permanence, status, participation in our staff community, etc. 3/4.

Many universities have started using education pathway positions, but their nature varies across institutions. So I stress: in DPE, these are not overloaded ‘teaching’ posts. They are strategic investments in developing the department’s world class research-led education. 2/4.

We’re hiring 3 permanent (tenured) lecturers in the Department of Political Economy @KingsCollegeLon. These are ‘education pathway’ positions (in Economics, Research Methods, and Comparative Politics) 1/4.

Magnificent instant Wikipedia service to keep us fully informed about the new pope…

I hope many of you find the article interesting! Thanks to Res Publica for publishing it - for my full acknowledgements, see the article.

This goes beyond the two main existing agendas for comparative and historical research in political theory - in history of political thought, and comparative political theory - by, in particular, incorporating greater attention to political behaviour.

The article argues that the method of Comparative Historical Analysis, typically associated with empirical political science, can also be distinctively employed for normative research in political theory through three main types of inquiry: deductive, inductive, and casuistic.

Really pleased to announce that my paper 'Comparative Historical Analysis in Political Theory' has just been published in Res Publica! . You can find it (open access) at the link below.

Delighted that the Routledge Handbook of Ideology and International Relations, which I co-edited with Mark L. Haas, is now available in paperback for just £35.99! . Full details here:. .
