New open access article in @ISQ_Jrnl! Do U.S. allies' efforts to invest in self-defense increase the U.S. public's support for defending them? The results from a series of survey experiments suggest they don't, and can even decrease it. Link below.

It was a real pleasure to contribute to this @BrookingsChina Q&A on the role of alliances in US-China competition! #how-do-americas-allies-fit-into-the-economic-competition-with-china-955" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">brookings.edu/articles/are-a…

@BrianDBlank tests whether U.S. signals of abandonment and efforts to encourage allied burden-sharing using threats of abandonment increase support for nuclear weapons acquisition, using a survey of foreign policy elites from 16 European NATO members. tinyurl.com/sqaf039

@sam_gerstle @ISQ_Jrnl Thanks Sam!

@BrianDBlank @ISQ_Jrnl Congrats Brian!

Very pleased to have a research note in the upcoming issue of @ISQ_Jrnl. The article explores a classic issue--nonproliferation & US alliances--using a new data source: a survey of elites (foreign & defense policy experts and policymakers) in European NATO countries.

@WKielm @ISQ_Jrnl Thanks Will!

@BrianDBlank @ISQ_Jrnl Congratulations!!

@thatdrwillis @ISQ_Jrnl Thank you, Charmaine!

@KatieAngell_ @ISQ_Jrnl Thank you, Katie!

The piece finds that unconditional signals of U.S. abandonment, and to a lesser extent conditional U.S. threats of abandonment and increased alliance burden-sharing, modestly increase support for nuclear weapons. But effect sizes are fairly small overall. doi.org/10.1093/isq/sq…

We have a title! Cover coming soon...and the book comes out in October via @CornellPress.

I am elated to say that my book, "Words of War: Negotiation as a Tool of Conflict," is now published and available to order! In the book, I argue and demonstrate that negotiations are not only used to end wars but can also be wielded to fight them. A summary thread is below.

I have a new piece published by @defpriorities that evaluates the effectiveness of different strategies for soliciting alliance burden-sharing. Check it out! defensepriorities.org/content/achiev…

I just received an advance copy of my book, Words of War! I am thrilled to hold it. The nice cover is a bonus. The book argues that negotiations are not only used to end wars but also to fight them. Words of War comes out on February 15, 2025. More info: cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/978150177…
