Our very own @VTSPIA Professor Ariel Ahram presenting on his book at @AU_SIS. Kudos! Please consider attending if you are able. #conflict #middleeast #beyondboundries #mpa #phd @virginia_tech @VTSPIADirector

Don't think of globalization & Communist E. Europe going together, but my @VTPSCI colleague @besnikpula's new book dispels the myth of "closed" economies. Interesting stuff for the political economist in all of us. sup.org/books/title/?i…

V. excited to be speaking about my new book <Break all the Borders: Separatism & the Shaping of the Middle East> on 2/12, 11 am @AU_SIS. Thanks @OUPAcademic / @OUPPolitics getting this to press.

The call for papers for the 2019 STGlobal grad student conference is out! @STGlobalConf @VTGradCommunity stglobal.org/call-for-stude…

Interesting piece by Alex Dewaal on how difficult it is to measure scale of humanitarian damage in #Yemen. Siphoning of aid & manipulation of data just part of the problem. Comments @Ndawsari?
