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.

Speaking as a former U.S. anti-corruption official, this is not a thing.

So delighted to share that my first book – Abiding Influence (@stanfordpress) – was officially approved for publication from the Stanford Faculty Editorial Board! The book will examine how #nationalism has impacted U.S. foreign policy in the #Asia Pacific. More to come soon!

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!🧵

@russianforces From Red Cross on blinding lasers: “It represents the first time since 1868, when the use of exploding bullets was banned, that a weapon of military interest has been banned before its use on the battlefield and before a stream of victims gave visible proof of its tragic effects”

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%): https://t.co/iJBv0C6xe1

[Mike Tierney @MikeTierneyIR]

From my colleague @moritzgraefrath. This is worth your time if you are thinking about U.S. troops in Europe, the pivot to Asia, and/or the post-Russia-Ukraine War. @stephenWalt, @RyanAMusto, @Prof_MHolmes, @WillRuger, @MalikAmmar, @joshuachuminski, @amauritsvdv

It was a pleasure to sit down with Erin O'Brien to talk more about my recent @WarOnTheRocks piece on The Insider podcast: https://t.co/cX7jFEbISF

@edwardfishman Congratulations, Eddie, can't wait to read! Looks fantastic!

[Ryan A. Musto @RyanAMusto]

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.

[Mike Tierney @MikeTierneyIR]

What is the best place to study IR at BA, MA, and PhD levels? Been doing this survey and reputational ranking with FP for 20 years. Lesson: Reputations are sticky! We added a 4th category (best PhD for policy work) and also surveyed policymakers and think tankers.

Thanks to generous support from @WMLibraries, my @IntHistReview article on the quest to get Brazil to fight in the Vietnam War is now Open Access. Check it out!

[Ryan A. Musto @RyanAMusto]

In the 1960s, the Johnson Administration tried to get Brazil to fight in the Vietnam War. No Latin American country mattered more for the U.S. Top Brazilian officials wanted it, too. So why didn’t it happen? Check out my article in @IntHistReview https://t.co/KJHswdgJbT
