Looking forward to reading @edwardfishman's new book, Chokepoints, out today. Few have studied issues around economic statecraft with more intensity and insight than Eddie. My copy arrived last night while I was on a train...don't make the same mistake. amazon.com/dp/0593712978?ref…

How do experts and the public see the proposed U.S. Steel sale? How do scholars and the U.S. public characterize China, the EU, and India today? @A_Guisinger, @kleinberg_katja, and Anna Rowland explore these questions in @GoodAuth w/ TRIP Snap Poll data. Details in the thread!🧵

For @AidData, I provided some data-driven insights on today’s inauguration of Chancay port in Peru, which is operated by a joint venture between COSCO (60%) and Volcan Compañía Minera (40%): aiddata.org/blog/chancay-por…

Chancay port opens as China’s gateway to South America

Peru’s new megaport is poised to transform global trade—but China’s portfolio stretches far beyond the port.

Scott Sagan: "Opinion: I study nuclear war. Kamala Harris must be our next president." freep.com/story/opinion/cont… via @freep

Opinion: I study nuclear war. Kamala Harris must be our next president.

Growing up in Dearborn, we drilled for a nuclear attack. The risk of nuclear war is significantly higher because of Donald Trump.

It was a privilege to participate in the workshop on nuclear weapon free zones (NWFZs) hosted by @UN_Disarmament @MFA_KZ @DisarmKaz in Astana this week. We looked to foster cooperation and consultation amongst NWFZs, and to strengthen regional denuclearization more broadly.
