@GoodhartAndrew @haoming_x Thank you Andy! It’s really exciting to see it in print.

[Ashley Leeds @BAshleyLeeds]

Working on an IR syllabus for fall? Check out this new review essay on contemporary Chinese scholarship on international order. Published posthumously, this is likely one of Bear Braumoeller’s last scholarly contributions (with @haoming_x and @_DavidAPeterson).

[International Organization @IntOrgJournal]

Now on #FirstView: how do contemporary Chinese IR scholars understand international order?

@haoming_x, @_DavidAPeterson & Bear Braumoller compare four modern Chinese IR theories with conventional paradigms.

I want to echo @JordanMBecker. It was a privilege to work on this tribute to @Prof_BearB and I’m very grateful to Jordan, Diane Labrosse, and each of the contributors.

[Paul Poast @ProfPaulPoast]

A true honor to take part in this wonderful tribute to Bear Braumoeller.

As I wrote at the beginning of my piece, "I am a Michigan PhD because of Bear Braumoeller"

The IR Theory Colloquium will give you the *unique* opportunity to join a small cohort of junior IR theorists and get feedback from top scholars! I was privileged to be part of last year’s cohort, a fantastic experience all around.

Do file your application, deadline August 9.

@HegemonySnicket @ElliottSchoolGW Congratulations, that’s so exciting!

A model of hierarchy and war that produces the same result -- less war with hierarchy than without -- that obtained in East Asian history. And, great to see the wonderful, sorely missed Bear Braumoeller among the authors.
