My book, Archival Research for International Relations, is out this month. Inspired by the gap btwn the widespread use of archival evidence in IR and the lack of arhives training, it aims to put archival research for IR on sound theoretical & practical footing. Pls take a look!

[Cornell University Press @CornellPress]

ARCHIVAL RESEARCH FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS is an indispensable guide to why archival sources can be invaluable for IR scholarship and how to use archives effectively. Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson bridges this gap by unpacking archival research from the ground up.

Just think: forty more of them in the next year, taxed heavily, and we can finally pay down the national debt!

@jekavanagh @blagden_david Sure, but the original point wasn't re alignment so much as restraint-ish outcomes (I paraphrase). We both know people went into the admin b/c they thought "pushing the principles" could yield restraint-ish outcomes on some issues. You and I thought this was silly...here we are.

[Joshua Shifrinson @Le_Shif]

@jekavanagh @blagden_david To David's point, Jen, we should acknowledge that SOME people in the community went into the admin thinking that this was a moment to push the principles. Others thought this was foolhardy. For those in office, we're at an Exit, Voice, and Loyalty situation (IMHO).

You know, it's still forever wars endure if you're forever at war with someone...even if the someone changes.

The West’s “reflexive opposition to de jure recognition obscures the ways in which formal acceptance of Russia’s gains on the ground could increase Ukraine’s security and contribute to international stability,” argue @PeterSlezkine and @Le_Shif.

“As part of a durable peace settlement, it is in the interests of Ukraine, Europe, and the United States to draw a new international border roughly coinciding with the final line of control,” argue @PeterSlezkine and @Le_Shif.

“As the war drags on, Russia is more likely to gain ground than to lose it,” write @PeterSlezkine and @Le_Shif. “The West’s nonrecognition of Russian territorial expansion will not reverse the reality of Ukrainian territorial losses.”

.@PeterSlezkine and @Le_Shif argue that, as part of a peace settlement with Russia, Ukraine should relinquish “legal claim to territory it does not control in the east.”

As part of a durable peace settlement, Ukraine, Europe, and the United States should recognize the existence of a new international border with Russia, argue @PeterSlezkine and @Le_Shif.

[Joshua Shifrinson @Le_Shif]

With @PeterSlezkine in Foreign Affairs, making the case for formal recognition of a new border between Ukraine and Russia.

[Peter Slezkine @PeterSlezkine]

A peace deal in Ukraine should include formal recognition of a new international border.

@Le_Shif and yours truly for @ForeignAffairs

“After four years of a grinding war, the surest path to an enduring peace is a deal in which both Ukraine and Russia recognize the reality on the ground and renounce legal claim to territory that they do not control.”

JD Vance: "You're there to play a sport, and you're there to represent your country and hopefully win a medal. You're not there to pop off about politics."

Counteragument: American athletes are often at their best "popping off" about politics. For instance -

Pleased to contribute to this Defense Priorities roundtable on the administration's refocus on the Western Hemisphere. In my view, the turn to the Americas is at once unnecessary and poorly done.

Of course, others may disagree. So, read the roundtable.

If Denmark banned exports of Royal Dansk cookies, this crisis would resolve overnight as grandparents everywhere would demand the White House change course. The threat of the GOP coalition dissolving is not to be taken lightly.
