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.

Thank you @Koch_LL for sharing your research with us on nuclear threats.
In our latest Wednesday Seminar, Lisa asks, “When leaders issue nuclear threats, how are those threats perceived?” She continues to talk about the spectrum of credibility on which these threats may fall and the reactions they inspire.

On the anniversary of Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace speech, I recommend reading this excellent, recent special issue of the Journal of Cold War Studies.

@katie_peach @csisponi Congratulations! I am not at all surprised, having had just a little exposure to your work!

[Sharan Grewal @sh_grewal]

Grateful for this very kind review of my book by @Hbounassif, whose own book deeply inspired mine:

"Solidly grounded in firsthand research, Grewal's work is also comparative and theoretically inclined... a welcome addition...and a must-read"

Fall issue is live! In my @IntSecHarvard article I argue that China's rise has shifted the international system back to bipolarity. (ungated article here): https://t.co/GTRfHeFtvj

@aaronbateman22 Congrats!

It's publication week! Influence Without Arms: The New Logic of Deterrence is now available with @CUP_PoliSci: https://t.co/pJ7eQKWBT4. The book examines the role of nuclear technology in international relations.

[Conflict Management & Peace Science @cmpseditors]

Second, @Koch_LL compares national support for the #DeathPenalty in the United States with support for #Nuclear strikes against enemy countries, finding that core beliefs about blame and punishment can influence support for the use of force.

BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.
