My latest with @jshermcyber in @CSP_journal tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… We identify two variants of multilateralism (authoritarian and liberal), and show they help account for authoritarian states backing multilateral cyber governance while liberal states are reluctant.

I participated in this summer institute, put together by Peter Harris, last year and can wholeheartedly recommend it. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions!

Read Erin Dumbacher on how artificial intelligence is exacerbating threats to nuclear stability: foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

“The United States would do well to reconsider its strict adherence to nonproliferation and encourage a small set of allies—namely Canada, Germany, and Japan—to go nuclear,” argue @moritzgraefrath and @ProfMarkRaymond. fam.ag/4pj30GI

Were Canada, Germany, and Japan to acquire nuclear weapons, they could decrease their military dependence on the United States—and “help uphold the post–World War II order” in the process, argue @moritzgraefrath and @ProfMarkRaymond. foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

“When states committed to defending international rules and norms acquire nuclear capabilities, proliferation, in fact, increases the stability and strength of the global order,” argue @moritzgraefrath and @ProfMarkRaymond. foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

“Japanese nuclear proliferation will go a long way toward achieving the United States’ main goal in East Asia, namely, the containment of China through strong local alliances,” argue @moritzgraefrath and @ProfMarkRaymond. foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

“Selective proliferation would revitalize the increasingly brittle post-1945 order that has so benefited the United States and its allies,” argue @moritzgraefrath and @ProfMarkRaymond. foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

Canada, Japan, and Germany should get the bomb. Selective proliferation will benefit both the United States and its allies. My debut in @ForeignAffairs w/ @ProfMarkRaymond ⤵️ foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

“Were Canada, Germany, and Japan to acquire nuclear weapons, they would rebalance global military capabilities in favor of a coalition of states committed to the rules-based system,” argue @moritzgraefrath and Mark Raymond. foreignaffairs.com/canada/america…

Greatly appreciate any help #IR folks here can give us in rebuilding the followers for the International Theory journal account, @InternatlTheory which was mysteriously disrupted on this platform.

The #UN prepares to pass a controversial cybercrime treaty, signalling a shift toward authoritarian control of the internet and forcing democracies into difficult choices. Read more from @ProfMarkRaymond and @jshermcyber on @bindinghook. bindinghook.com/articles-hooke…

@nanettelevinson That’s very kind Nanette, thank you!

Such an important article- well-deserved @ProfMarkRaymond!

We have a new, terrific @HDiplo roundtable on @rohan_mukh much-celebrated book, Ascending Order, w/thoughtful comments by Lora Viola @DrIanHall @mkmurray78 @lincolnhines @manjeetsp: networks.h-net.org/group/discussi… Glad to have commissioned the discussion, which Lora perfectly sums up:

Very grateful to be nominated by @CSP_journal for the 2025 Bernard Brodie Prize.

Honored to be shortlisted with such a terrific group, and for a piece with @jshermcyber that I’m very proud of.

Multilateralism is usually considered a cornerstone of liberal cyber governance, but as @ProfMarkRaymond and @jshermcyber explain, there is a rising authoritarian strain. Explore this topic and implications for the changing shape of the cyber landscape: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

DHS says CISA’s test of AI vulnerability detection methods (required by Biden’s AI EO) determined that “the best use of AI for vulnerability detection currently lies in supplementing and enhancing, as opposed to replacing, existing tools.” dhs.gov/news/2024/07/2…

Big news from Berkeley Risk and Security Lab. We are hiring for FOUR new positions. If you're interested in working at the intersection of #technology and #security (with a little bit of #wargaming in the mix) here at the University of California, Berkeley, join us:

New open access article with @OleWillers, looking at the emergence of the market for digital surveillance and why it has been so hard to control. Hopefully relevant to anyone interested in spyware, surveillance, or economic security states more broadly. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
