Why do nuclear dominoes not fall? The common wisdom holds that each new proliferator goads its rivals into following suit, but they rarely do. Yogesh Joshi and I argue that this gap between expectation and reality cannot be explained by the cost of nuclear pursuit alone. 1/6

Very glad to see this article out in the world. In it, I argue for a critical reading of realism's political history, in terms of exile and how realists historically experienced it. /1

Realism, ideology, and exile Joseph MacKay Abstract What is the relationship between political ideology and realism in international relations? This article reconceptualizes the realist relationship with ideology in terms of a recurring experience of ideological exile. Exile was a crucial part of the biographical experience of early realists like Hans Morgenthau and John Herz. I argue that the idea of exile also marked an aspect of their relationship to ideology. Realists often allied themselves with ideological camps, through which they aimed to shape political practice. Yet realists mistrusted ideological utopianisms, and these liaisons often ended badly – in effect driving realists into ideological exile. The resulting exile persona has marked realism durably, recurring among later realists who do not have a biographical experience of exile in the conventional sense. Exile has thus become a persistent, constitutive feature of the intellectual project of realism itself. My argument has ongoing implications for how we understand realism as a political project. Keywords: realism; ideology; exile; policy practice; history of international thought

In light of yesterday's news on the COVID inquiry in relation to political decision-making, I'm re-posting our recent ISQ article. We show how political elites in the UK, Italy, and Germany varied in the ways they communicated the inevitability of mass death during the onset of the pandemic. 🧵...
