There is absolutely zero doubt that under @adreher.bsky.social ‘s tenure, RIO was the best managed journal in the field by quite some margin, publishing consistently great work. Tough but fair, with incredible response time. Thank you for your service!

New RIO (@the-peio.bsky.social) editor: Christopher Kilby After more than 20 years as editor of the Review of International Organizations, I'm stepping back from new submissions. As of today, Christopher will take them over. I will continue with resubmissions for papers I originally handled.

AI-enabled warfare is giving the US unprecedented tactical reach while eroding strategic restraint, argues @profonderco.bsky.social. From Venezuela to Iran, lower-risk operations lower the bar for war, exposing allies to miscalculation. europeanleadershipnetwork.org/commentary/a...

Recent military operations in Venezuela and Iran show that the AI gives the US tactical excellence but enables strategic stupidity. What are the three reasons this should terrify Europe? Read in my new piece for @theeln.bsky.social -> europeanleadershipnetwork.org/commentary/a...

Thanks to @tomwetienne.bsky.social and an accident, we now know whether Oppenheimer changed how people think about nuclear weapons 👇. Now our in @ipsr-risp.bsky.social

Thanks to a happy accident, @profonderco.bsky.social and I collected two datasets on attitudes toward #nuclearweapons before and after the release of #Oppenheimer. This inadvertent design lets us test whether the film shifted attitudes toward #armscontrol and #nucleardisarmament. 🧵

Quick reactions after learning that no, nobody could stop him. 1/ goodauthority.org/news/trump-m... 1/

Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him?

Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him? Congress, public opinion, and administration insiders aren’t reliable constraints on Trump’s foreign policy decisions.

🚨 JUST IN: Israel and the US strike Iran. It is a tragedy of Tehran's own making Iran's strategy worked. Only up to a point, Nicole Grajewski (@nicolegrajewski.bsky.social) writes in @thebulletin.org. #Iran #Israel #UnitedStates #war #nuclearrisk #nukesky

The "debate" in the run-up to this makes Iraq 2003 look like the Athenian polis.

There was a much stronger legal case for Iraq 2003, even if you believe that case was weak

This week at a FIIA seminar, @profonderco.bsky.social, @pesumatti.bsky.social and Katja Creutz discussed the complexity of democratic foreign policy-making on nuclear security in the twenty-first century. Watch the recording ⤵️ fiia.fi/en/tapahtumat/europes-nuclear-umbrella

Final update: The translator sent a very kind email to explain the context around all this. If even a single Iranian can draw strength from the book, I'm glad it was published in Farsi. It's an honour and I hope you will succeed

Marcel Dirsus@marceldirsus.com · 6mo ago

Just found out through this tweet that my book How Tyrants Fall appears to be available in Farsi (!) in Iran? Like you can buy it as a physical book in bookshops in Tehran or whatever. Can someone who speaks Farsi please tell me whether this is actually real?

Netherlands will be "constructive" towards the "strenghtening of a European nuclear deterrent" They will join the Treaty of Achen (Franco-German defence cooperation treaty) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen_...

As someone who sat on the Sartori Prize cmte last yr, I have to say that RISP consistently delivers clever high-quality papers with good data and relevant questions. Hard to find another “national” journal in Europe with such good quality. This paper fits the pattern.
