Our very own @ManaliKumar and @bentleyballan are organizing a workshop on conceptualizing and operationalizing national identity. Please sign up and RT!
Very pleased to be co-directing #ecprjs21 workshop on measuring national identity with @bentleyballan. Accepting proposals until 8 February!
We are very happy to inform that our very own @ManaliKumar is starting her new research project on Indian national identity and interests, based partially on the data from the Making Identity Count India project: bit.ly/3nL4AlT
For IR folks: The Making Identity Count project is releasing more than 50 identity reports of great powers from 1950-2010 today(links in the thread). But first, here is a short video about the project by Ted Hopf and @srdjanvucetic : youtube.com/watch?v=RJJ1n5GV…
Also, we forgot to mention, a shotout to @bentleyballan, who makes an appearance towards the end of the video from our Baltimore studio :)
New year cheer for the Making Identity Count Project as the article on China's hegemonic prospects penned by @bentleyballan , @srdjanvucetic and Ted Hopf gets featured in Washington Post's list of the best work on political economy in 2018. Link: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…
Folks wanting to know more are welcome to attend the Making Identity Count Asia conference at the Asia Research Institute (National University Singapore) from Jan 10-11, where we will discuss our data from ASEAN countries and East Asia xitter.cf/ManaliKumar/status/106…
Great talk by Ted Hopf today @GlobalGov_IHEID on China's hegemonic prospects with very interesting new data from the @MIC_Identity-ASEAN project
Thread (w/ article links at the end) on the role ideas could play in hindering China's rise: Hegemonic transitions in International Relations have often been seen from the perspective of military and economic might. However, the role of ideas and identities has been neglected
@bentleyballan , @srdjanvucetic and Ted Hopf from the MIC Project take a stab at this puzzle in their latest paper for @IntOrgJournal : cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Or if you would prefer their shorter think piece written for @ConversationEDU : theconversation.com/the-pros…
A key finding of our research has been the role of ideas/identities in conditioning China's rise. Can China provide any credible ideational alternative vision to the neo-liberal order established by United States? So far, the answer is in the negative
