3/8/2016

0 Comments

 
​William D. Hartung cites our research on US military training and coups in a U.S. News piece. I'm not as universally pessimistic as Hartung on military training, but agree that the Hippocratic oath would be a good ethical standard when considering military aid.

We flesh out our evidence in a post at the wonderful Political Violence at a Glance blog.

I made the case that the United States looks at Syria primarily through the lens of its interests in Iraq. I also explained the circumstances under which Russian involvement may prolong or shorten the civil war, based on research by Todd Sechser and me, as well as many other political scientists.

Democratic Militarism was chosen as one of the ten best books in war studies for the year (in French).

I really enjoy Oliver Schmitt's posts on developments in the field (albeit aided by Google translate) and wish him the best at his new position and his new blog.
