Dan Tichenor's brief history lesson provides valuable perspective on what's shaping up to be a key controversy during Trump 2.0: the proposed use of a wartime measure to deport immigrants from the U.S. Highly recommended reading.

Thanks for putting this list together! Super-helpful!
Please add me! I am late to the party but have started publishing work in this vein. Thanks!
And special thanks to @fahadrajput.bsky.social, of course! You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
Many thanks to those who gave feedback on the remarks I gave at VMI that led to this paper, to those who commented on the draft I presented at West Point, and especially to @patrickrhamey.bsky.social and Spencer Bakich for shepherding the volume to completion. 6/6
Cheers!🥂
Our recommendations are not likely to be adopted by Trump 2.0. But we stand by our position that the US has the capacity to play a leadership role, and should use that capacity to dampen regional military competition and reduce the emissions that exacerbate climate change. 5/6
...should take a leading role in reducing carbon emissions in military domains. While complete military decarbonization is an unattainable goal, we applaud efforts to move to reduce carbon emissions and urge additional commitments in this direction. 4/6
We assert that the U.S. should not be tempted by a maximalist version of 'restraint'. Instead, for reasons we explain in the chapter, the U.S. should maintain its forward-deployed military presence but exercise restraint in wielding those capabilities, and... 3/6
In the chapter we lay out an argument for what we call 'sustainable strategic adjustment' to meet the challenges of managing regional competition and the climate crisis. 2/6

Very pleased to see this book arrive in the mail! 👏 It includes a chapter coauthored w/@fahadrajput.bsky.social, a graduate of our MA in International Affairs program. Fahad's insights, diligence & friendly prodding made this essay possible. I'm so grateful we had the chance to write together! 1/6
Nope. Welcome!

🌿🕊️ on this International Day of Peace--when peace seems so unattainable--it is refreshing to read about "a grand strategy of peace," one that emphasizes careful cooperation and strategic accommodation of would-be adversaries. Thank you @patrickrhamey.bsky.social.

Ezra Klein, who I know to be generally quite attentive to the political science literature, seems to be ignoring some well established findings in his article arguing Biden should step aside, which is disappointing because I really do expect better from him. A partial list
Thank you, PS, and happy holidays to the editors and staff. Your work and dedication is deeply appreciated, and I am proud to be associated with this vital and necessary journal. Cheers!
Sharing my new book on China's coercion, which just came out with Cambridge U Press. It argues that China uses coercion to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" but is also constrained by economic and geo costs. Econ interdependence constrains & enables China: www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...
Kim thanks for your note — never have I wanted an “Edit Post” option more than in that moment! And I don’t condemn any industry per se — would just like to see everyone doing their part.
Sorry, the doublespeak in the article is from the meat industry. My bad.
Reduce meat and dairy consumption, phase out government support for high-emissions animal agriculture, reduce methane emissions.
It’s just science, not rocket science. And don’t fall for the dairy industry’s doublespeak.

To flip this around: I recall fondly when at my previous institution an historian saw The Dictator's Handbook under my arm and said, "I see you've been raiding the [university] president's library."
Ugh.
Interesting argument, @profpaulpoast.bsky.social. Worth mentioning that the legitimacy of such a system is rooted only in the perspective of the major powers, which (at that time) empowered each other to exploit their privilege at the expense of small states. Quite different from Ikenberry, no?
