It was a pleasure to talk allies and access with @LuteDoug and @AtwellKyle on @IrregWarfare . Full episode available here youtube.com/watch?v=q0liIbBk… and wherever you get your podcasts
New piece out in @ForeignAffairs! I argue that an overlooked dimension of the war in Iran, and of international security broadly, is wartime access: decisions by states to let the U.S. military fight wars from inside their borders.
foreignaffairs.com/iran/iran…
States have the agency to grant, restrict, or deny access to the US, and hosting the US mil can be costly. The US may be wise to reduce its global ambitions, but if states begin to close their doors, Washington's decision could be made for it.
Excited to see "Allies and Access" out in @IntOrgJournal! @carsonaust , @ProfPaulPoast , and I argue that access is an overlooked benefit of America's network of alliances/partnerships. Loss of access would mean loss of the ability to project mil and intel power around the world.
Our special issue on The Future of Global Governance and World Order is out & #OpenAccess

New article alert, coauthored with the phenomenal @RenanahJoyce and just out in @ISQ_Jrnl. We explore how civilian leaders of recipient states can interfere with U.S. efforts to export liberal civil-military relations via security assistance.

We worry a lot about the credibility of threats. We should worry more about the credibility of coercive assurance. Targets of coercion defy credible threats when they think they are ‘damned if they do and damned if they don’t’.

Thanks to @ProfRittinger for the insightful and generous review of my @IntSecHarvard article “The Cult of the Persuasive” in H-Diplo issforum.org/articlereviews/…
New article with @mzmargulies out today in @jststs. We apply the IR cooperation concept of issue linkage to identify a success path in US efforts to convince security assistance recipients to reform their security sectors, with a close look at BiH tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Pleased to see my article w @ErikAHSand out in @TWQgw. As the US moves towards forthright commitment to Taiwan's defense, this article lays out what fighting China to defend Taiwan could mean for the US military, American people, and wider world.
