  • The First Amendment Meets the Virtual Public Square

    Open AccessAllison StangerARTICLEDaedalus2024Cited by: 1

    Section 230, the twenty-six words that created the internet, has become the twenty-six words that are breaking the First Amendment. Section 230's blanket liability shield for social media platforms is harming our children and our democracy. In this essay, I narrate the story of what Section 230 enabled-the rise of the virtual public square, a circumstance that the framers could never have imagined-and explore its consequences for human well-being…

    Allison StangerBOOKWhistleblowers2019

    A magisterial exploration of whistleblowing in America, from the Revolutionary War to the Trump era. Misconduct by those in high places is always dangerous to reveal. Whistleblowers thus face conflicting impulses: by challenging and exposing transgressions by the powerful, they perform a vital public service-yet they always suffer for it. This episodic history brings to light how whistleblowing, an important but unrecognized cousin of civil disob…

  • Is Just War Doctrine Still Relevant

    Allison StangerARTICLEInternational Studies Review2017

    Outsourcing War examines the current status of just war doctrine in a privatized and globalized world and finds it wanting. The increased presence of nonstate actors wreaking havoc on civilian populations and the unprecedented deployment of private military companies (PMCs) in the war on terror has seriously complicated moral reasoning that is premised on the state as a unitary actor. Eckert rightly points out that, while jus ad bellum (justice o…

  • How important are new constitutions for democratic consolidation? Lessons from the post-communist states

    Allison StangerARTICLEDemocratization2004Cited by: 4

    This article examines the conventional wisdom that an early legal break with the past is critical for democratic consolidation and finds it to be problematic. The post-communist cases in central east Europe demonstrate that the liberal formula of free and fair elections followed by the ratification of a new constitution is not always desirable and may be sub-optimal when state sovereignty has not recently undergone redefinition. Since both semi-p…
