Arms transfers and international relations theory
Quantitative research on arms transfers has not adequately accounted for broader theories of international relations. We review the specialized literature on arms transfers and examine how arms transfers fit with the broad international relations theories. We derive and test seven hypotheses based on realist, liberal and constructivist theories using a dataset of all non-US/Russian aircraft transfers between 1990 and 2010. We find limited support…
Building a Parallel World Order
In Post-Western World, Stuenkel focuses on the growing power of China and the other BRICS countries (i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa), particularly their efforts to build parallel institutions to those that the United States and other Western powers built after World War II. He therefore asks three main questions: how does multipolarity affect the distribution of power, influence, and ideas in setting the global agenda; how do shift…
Human Rights and Democratic Arms Transfers
Since the height of the Cold War, major democratic arms suppliers have claimed that they take into consideration the human rights records of existing and potential purchasing states.

The success of the Iraq surge has prompted work by academics and policymakers alike. One factor of the success of the surge that has been understudied by both academics and policymakers is the role played by the detention of individuals and the changes in detention policy that…
