1/ Returning from a social media hiatus to share that my first book, Polarization and International Politics, will be released on September 16 with @PrincetonUPress as part of their Studies in International History and Politics Series.

5/ A sneak peek of the book is pictured here, alongside my most demanding reviewer.

4/ The book is available for preorder through Princeton (shorturl.at/LD5I9) and Amazon (shorturl.at/twK3J). I am told that you can receive a 30% off with the code P327 at press.princeton.edu. What a steal!

I'm also excited that a paper I wrote on the connections between domestic politics & IR is now published in @JPR_journal! It presents the 'democratic patience', and finds that democracies are slower to resort to violence during interstate crises. doi.org/10.1177/002234…

Very excited to publish my article with @a_alrababah & @rmmyrick91, "Evidence-Based Transitional Justice: Incorporating Public Opinion into the Field, with New Data from Iraq & Ukraine" @YaleLJournal, an interdisciplinary review of 329 empirical studies: yalelawjournal.org/feature/eviden…

We see this as just one test of a much larger debate about polarization and foreign policy. But we hope this paper is useful in helping to characterize where there may or may not be national security vulnerabilities for the US that are caused by polarization. 6/

New paper with Chen Wang published @The_JOP explores concerns shared by many US policymakers that polarization weakens and distracts the US, emboldening its adversaries. We were curious: Is there evidence this is happening? (journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72…) 1/

It also complements other projects I've worked on about the nature and limits of public constraints on democratic leaders in foreign affairs, including this article on public perceptions of covert action in @The_JOP: doi.org/10.1086/707308

The paper contributes to a rapidly growing literature on transparency and secrecy in international relations, including great work by @AllieCarnegie, @carsonaust, @mindy__haas, @jkertzer, Roseanne McManus, @smaxey265, @m_poznansky, @gametheory101, @YarhiMilo, and many others.

In a new paper in Journal of Conflict Resolution, I analyze public perceptions of secret negotiations. I find that U.S. adults are generally averse to their government negotiating in secret, especially when the negotiations relate to economic agreements: bit.ly/43CluY7
