I was on NPR yesterday in a chat w @SachaPfeiffer on the evolving nature of international politics, U.S. foreign policy, and coercive diplomacy. Sacha is a fantastic journalist and I really enjoyed the conversation.

My forthcoming book with @SUPress, "Deference and Defiance: Status Seeking in Gulf-United States Politics," explores how status competition has shaped the GCC's states' propensities to support - and often oppose - US foreign policy plans in the wider Middle East since the 1990s.
On the blog, author @Tyler_B_Parker writes, "Why do America’s Gulf partners support some US foreign policy plans while opposing or avoiding others?" buff.ly/WLFovyY
Episode 3 "Research Ethics and the Study of Civil War" is now out from the Stories from the Field podcast. Ora Szekely and I welcome @cheng_christine + Christopher Day to discuss their recent co-edited special issue in the journal Conflict, Security, Development. /1
The special issue includes 11 articles from 21 researchers who explore issues of participant trauma, how IRBs should be used effectively, and the importance of reflexivity in research on armed actors. Please listen and spread the word! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
So excited to publish Season 2 of the "Stories from the Field" podcast w Ora Szekely. This season, we focus on research on civil war, from doing research in one’s home country to the special importance of research ethics in scholarship on armed conflict. /1
Today, we release Ep1, which previews the season, and Ep2, in which we interview Kira Jumet + Merouan Mekouar re their fantastic edited volume "Doing Research as a Native: A Guide for Fieldwork in Illiberal and Repressive States" /2 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I am happy to share my article on the US's "Major Non-NATO Ally" status, which signals friendship and facilitates cooperation without providing formal security commitments. I use a paired comparison of Qatar and the UAE to explain why and when some US partners accept MNNA status.
Why do some U.S. partners accept “Major Non-NATO Ally” (MNNA) status while others decline? Comparing Qatar and the UAE, @Tyler_B_Parker’s article unpacks how acknowledging America’s appreciation influences these decisions.
