Allies and partners
Competition between China and the United States spurs renewed emphasis on security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. However, this development in security collaboration unfolds differently from the past. While Washington's Cold War alliances endure, these are supplemented by less formal arrangements with new regional partners. This reflects a shift from the codified obligations of treaty alliances in favor of flexible forms of security partnership…

Public opinion and alliance commitments in cybersecurity an attack against all
Cyber operations as a facet of international competition pose a direct challenge to alliances. Designed to respond to conventional military attacks, alliances like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization must now determine whether their defensive commitments extend into cyberspace. This question is not limited to political and military elites, as the use of force in defense of allies is among the most politically charged decisions a state can make…
Third-party countries in cyber conflict
The transnational nature of cyberspace alters the role of third-party countries (TPCs) in international conflict. In the conventional environment, military operations are primarily confined to the boundaries of the combatants or a designated war zone. However, during cyber conflicts, operations may occur on the digital infrastructure of states not otherwise involved in the dispute. Nevertheless, within the cyber conflict literature, little is sai…
Countering “Fake News” Through Public Education and Advertisements
This paper examines whether proactive efforts to educate people about disinformation through advertisements can successfully increase skepticism towards false headlines or if such efforts do more harm than good by inadvertently increasing belief in false information. We analyze a survey experiment that employed three different advertisements that directly addressed “fake news.” We find that all advertisements were effective at increasing skeptici…
The Rhetorical Post-presidency
Former presidents are not resigned to quiet anonymity but instead can remain prominent political actors long after exiting the White House. From Jimmy Carter's personal diplomacy to Donald Trump's caustic social media posts, ex-presidents continue to exercise considerable political power despite lacking any official role or governing authority. We argue that this continued post-presidential influence is an outgrowth of the informal powers of the …
Bridging the Digital Gap
This article details an attempt to bridge the gulf between information technology (IT) and social science approaches to cybersecurity using a simulation. Digital affairs are increasingly central to public policy, and yet the subject's incorporation within political science education has been hamstrung by an underlying disciplinary divide and lack of familiarity. Despite their differences, both IT and political science have strong traditions of ut…
Electoral Crisis Communications
In the age of weaponized disinformation, the question for democracies is not merely who will win an election, but whether the outcome will be accepted as legitimate. To assess the challenge faced by U.S. electoral officials in convincing the public of the security of election procedure we conducted a survey experiment on a national sample of 4987 U.S. adults in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Subjects were exposed to claims about voter fraud as…
Cybersecurity in the U.S.-Philippine alliance
This study examines the integration of cybersecurity within the U.S.-Philippine alliance. The growth of new forms of international conflict, like cybersecurity, occur below the threshold of a traditional armed attack and pose a direct challenge to security alliances designed to rebuff conventional military threats. Using a process-tracing approach, this article investigates the evolution of cybersecurity within the U.S.-Philippine relationship an…
Alliance Embeddedness
In 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte pledged to radically reorient Philippine foreign policy by separating from Manila's longtime ally the United States. Yet, this vaunted break with America has failed to manifest. Joint US–Philippine military activities have continued with President Duterte even singing the praises of his American partners. To understand how this about-face in Manila occurred, I conducted a detailed analysis of the firs…
Reassurance and Revival the U.S.–Philippine Alliance in the Wake of the Vietnam War
The Fall of Saigon in April 1975 triggered an existential crisis in Philippine national security. Long dependent on the United States as the essential guarantor of Philippine security, events in Indochina forced Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to question the wisdom of this arrangement. Shocked by the unwillingness of the American Congress to aid South Vietnam, Marcos became increasingly skeptical of American security assurances and demande…
The Nixon Doctrine and U.S. Relations with the Republic of Afghanistan, 1973–1978
The overthrow of the monarchy in Afghanistan in 1973 was a seminal moment in the country's history and in U.S. policy in Central Asia. The return of Mohamed Daoud Khan to power was aided by the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA, the Communist party) and military officers trained in the Soviet Union. Even as Communism was making its first substantive gains in Afghanistan, the United States was wrestling with how best to pursue its str…
Prospect Theory and Civil-Military Conflict
This article investigates the potential use of prospect theory to understand civil-military disputes over the use of force. Specifically, I argue that distinct realms of responsibility can lead civilian and military authorities to inhabit different frames of reference when confronting the same crisis. This divergence in perspective causes each to asses risk in fundamentally disparate ways and ultimately produces competing policy recommendations. …
Mr. Worldwide
We conduct a detailed survey of post-presidential involvement in foreign affairs, identifying eight distinct role types through which former presidents continue to impact the international arena. These roles, though not mutually exclusive, are collectively exhaustive and offer a high degree of descriptive utility. This study departs from typical classifications of ex-presidents according to all-encompassing, abstract phenotypes of personality or …
Twilight on the British Gulf
The 1961 Kuwait crisis stands as a key event in the evolution of American strategic thinking on the Persian Gulf. Following Iraqi threats to annex Kuwait, Britain despatched a sizable military force to the Emirate hoping to pre-empt an Iraqi invasion. When the Iraqi invasion failed to occur, Britain was forced to weather a political maelstrom as it struggled to withdraw its forces. Although the United States was largely an observer to the crisis,…
