What is the mismatch between perception and reality, when it comes to climate change and the risks it poses to our societies?

“We face interconnected issues that compound or affect traditional #violence and #conflict,” says James.

To him, "#HumanSecurity means reimagining what security is for human beings,” with future policies adopting a multidimensional approach that puts humans at the center. 🤝

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

Do those most threatened by climate change feel more at risk? 🌎 🤔 💭

Not quite, @JosefinPasanen and I found using data from @LR_Foundation #WorldRiskPoll data!

As tensions rise in the Asia Pacific, the United States must balance deterrence with diplomacy to prevent an escalating security dilemma.

@ForeignAffairs @JDevermont Interesting article, nice job envisioning a balanced 🇺🇸approach that doesn't necessitate primacy or overreliance on militarism!

🚨Research Thesis Announcement🚨

As consensus crumbles, new coalitions form...

With new threats to traditional 🇺🇸 foreign policy emerging, what is the future of international aid in the USA?

@globalsarang @ForeignPolicy Really good article that holds all actors accountable for escalations.

Over-reliance on deterrence ignores the threat of 🇺🇸 hegemony to 🇨🇳. While 🇨🇳 escalations should be condemned, 🇺🇸-led military build-up only encourages 🇨🇳 to do the same!

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@RStatecraft @Ivan_Eland @IndependentInst Nice article... will be interesting to see if internationalists would be a major part of a Trump admin. Still, any Trump admin is likely to be as (or more) hawkish as Biden's, but less predictable

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@RStatecraft Impunity is a huge reason for Mexican security issues, but policy makes a difference too.

🇺🇸&🇲🇽 have relied on military solutions to a law enforcement issue (although cartels now have military capacity, largely due to the "war" waged by 🇲🇽 government)

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

Read a great @JoDemocracy article outlining the Mexican military's increasing domestic influence.

@WillGFreeman, what are your thoughts on the US role in this trend?

Recently, I argued 🇺🇸 leaders encouraged🇲🇽 militarization this century➡️ https://t.co/jreUNgnKU1

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@RushDoshi @ForeignAffairs I say all of this with respect, as, once again, this is a very strong case for the argument you are making.

Would love to hear your (and others) response

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@RushDoshi @ForeignAffairs Is not approaching conflict in terms of what is best for the people, but rather in terms of how 🇺🇸 can remain a “greater” nation than 🇨🇳. REAL dedication to diplomacy, in place of provocative military expansion, keeps Americans from dying in Asia and suffering economically…

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@osint_mercury Regardless of whether we can “win,” we need to consider what is worth it (and understand that non-violent resolution is best case).

As you’ve said, nuclear war is probably the only existential threat to 🇺🇸, so there needs to be a huge bar for entering war with a nuclear power

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@AP Really well done by @tdemigueles @meganjanetsky & @RodrigoabdAbd!

Very serious issue, good to see it covered in English media - and such in depth research!

If interested in the topic, I wrote about 💦 scarcity issues, tourism & the Maya Train last fall👇🏻

[James Chabin @JamesChabin]

@EECastilloAP @AP @tdemigueles @meganjanetsky @RodrigoabdAbd REALLY good article! Glad to see the issue getting attention and authors take such a deep dive into the issues!

If interested in the topic, I covered the Maya Train & dwindling 💦 in the Riveira Maya last fall👇🏻
