Fears of Revolution and International Cooperation
What explains the remarkable degree of great-power cooperation during the Concert of Europe? I focus on a period when there were regular congresses and argue that the transformation of the great powers’ respective domestic politics to where they had active revolutionary movements and feared upheavals at home played a key role in undergirding the transformation of European international politics into a more cooperative order. Fears of a common dom…
Revolution and War
There are two main motives ascribed to Saddam Husayn's decision to invade Iran in 1980. One motive is that he invaded for geopolitical gain when international factors worked in his favor. The other is that he invaded to prevent Iran from fomenting revolution in Iraq. This article argues the decision was taken due to the latter, that the decision to invade Iran was primarily due to the fear of spillover effects from the Iranian Revolution, and con…
Why the Great Powers Permitted the Creation of an American Hegemon
THE YEAR THE UNITED STATES declared its independence, a German writer conjectured, “Are we at the beginning of an epoch in history that will forever remain remarkable to posterity? Isn’t the foundation stone being laid right now on the other side of the ocean for a powerful state that in the future, when American fleets will cover the seas, might terrify the European powers?”1 Americans thought so. Gouverneur Morris boasted in 1801, “the proudest…
The evolution of norms
Is there a growing norm against violence towards civilians that constrains how the United States deals with its client states? This article examines two similar cases that suggest there is. In Iran in 1978 and in Egypt in 2011, the United States faced a possible revolution by a democratic/Islamist opposition, yet American policy makers gave their major regional ally opposite advice. In 1978, the White House urged the Shah to crack down on the opp…
The attenuation of revolutionary foreign policy
Characterizing aggressive behavior in a forensic population
The concept of a dichotomous versus a continuous aggression model continues to be debated within the research literature. The Impulsive/Premeditated Aggression Scale (IPAS; M. S. Stanford, R. J. Houston, C. W. Mathias, et al., 2003) is a newly developed self-report instrument designed to classify an individual's aggressive behavior as predominantly premeditated or predominantly impulsive. The IPAS consists of 30-items that are scored on a 5-point…
