Later this year from @mitpress in @BelferCenter's Studies in International Security-- Atomic Backfires: When Nuclear Policies Fail.

This is a sobering edited volume on how efforts to reduce nuclear weapons dangers may sometimes wind up exacerbating them.

In an #OpenAccess essay for an upcoming @PeaceReview special issue, I argue that the war in Ukraine shows precisely why there is a need for much greater Chinese participation in the global nuclear order.

Happy to share that an article drawn from the first part of my book project is now online at @ISQ_Jrnl, on why rising powers like China become revisionist powers.

It is based on a manuscript that previously won @ISSS_ISA's Patricia Weitsman award 1/n

A must read

[Josh Kertzer @jkertzer]

As tensions continue to mount, pundits are increasingly worried about security dilemmas emerging between the US and China.

New in @World_Pol with @ryan_brutger and Kai Quek - we show both the 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳 publics are prone to security dilemma thinking

I am honored and thrilled that Nuclear Decisions has been named the co-winner of the Robert Jervis Best International Security Book Award for 2023. It's deeply meaningful to me to receive an award named for the late Robert Jervis.

All eyes are on Putin & Kim's meeting, but what exactly is North Korea sending to Russia?

In a new piece for @38NorthNK, my Ukrainian student Anton & I pulled evidence from Russian telegram, revealing defects galore.
