Teaching the Iraq War
The last time members of the graduating class of 2008 lived in a nation at peace, they were in the first month of their high school sophomore year. Because they are not subject to conscription; because the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are being fought by a professional army that has separated itself in many respects from civil society; and because the government has asked little of society in the way of sacrifice for the wars, today's undergradua…
Origins of Regime Change: "Ideapolitik" on the Long Road to Baghdad, 1993-2000
How was the ouster of Saddam Hussein defined as the solution to America's Iraq problem? Current scholarship on the U.S. invasion of Iraq tends to focus on the post-9/11 road to war, promoting models of policy capture, intelligence manipulation, threat-inflation, or rhetorical coercion of Bush administration opponents. In this essay, I trace the "Ideapolitik" of regime change in the 1990s and show that Bush's post-9/11 rhetoric was firmly embedded…
Use the Forces, Luke: Soldiers and the Democratic Peace
Civil–Military Dynamics, Democracy, and International Conflict is an ambitious and methodologically sophisticated, but conceptually underdetermined, monograph. In it, Seung-Whan Choi and Patrick James propose to extend recent advances in the democratic peace literature.

An N of 1: A Political Scientist in Operation Iraqi Freedom
A bunker is an odd place to reconsider a course syllabus, especially during a mortar attack in the middle of the night. Teaching the historical case study method in introductory courses in international relations, I often told students that we need history in IR, since our theories do not lend themselves to laboratory testing. In the future, I'll drop that comment. Since February 2003, I have been serving on active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom…
