The Consequences of Humiliation
There is often a timing mismatch between the publication of academic books and the relevance of their subject matter. Many “hot” research topics are passé by the time they appear in print. This is definitely not the case for The Consequences of Humiliation. Joslyn Barnhart's volume appears at a most critical time, as it offers invaluable insights into recent foreign policy turns by China, Russia, and, alas, the United States. The book's core idea…
Exploring the Threshold between Conflict Management and Joining in Biased Interventions
Recent research emphasizes the effectiveness of biased third parties and their use of leverage in resolving conflicts. However, scholars fail to explore systematically the conditions under which conflict management strategies straddle the confines between mediatory techniques and approaches more commonly associated with joining behavior. This article examines the threshold between neutral conflict management and overt joining by offering a model …
Status Considerations in International Politics and the Rise of Regional Powers
The salience of major powers and the status they are attributed in international politics have been of central concern to both scholars and practitioners. The focus on major powers is at least as old as Thucydides, who noted in the Melian debate the unique advantages these states possessed in structuring relations between states. More recently, realists, neorealists, long-cycle theorists, hierarchical theorists, power transition theorists, and li…
Between indifference and coercion
Research on third parties’ conflict management has traditionally proposed a stark dichotomy between neutral mediators and non-neutral military joiners. Recent studies have blurred this dichotomy but have not investigated joiners’ use of techniques other than military action. Using data from Corbetta and Dixon (2005) on non-neutral interventions in post-Second World War interstate disputes, this paper explores non-neutral third parties’ choice of …
Cooperative and Antagonistic Networks
In recent years (social) network approaches have been gaining ground in the field of international relations. Networks between states effectively explain patterns of international conflict and cooperation. One issue where conflict and cooperation converge—and where network analysis finds fruitful application—is the issue of third-party states' intervention in conflicts. This study investigates whether, and how, conflict expands in the internation…
Intervention in Conflicts from a Network Perspective
Whether neutral or on the side of a combatant, third-party states’ intervention in ongoing interstate conflicts is a triadic phenomenon which involves ties between a joining state and the two originators of the dispute. Existing studies on this topic have failed to fully capture the triadic nature of intervention, preferring instead to focus either on the joiner’s motivations or on the distinct dyadic relationships between joiners and the two sep…
Major Powers and the Quest for Status in International Politics

Major Power Status in International Politics
International politics operates under conditions of anarchy and inequality. Anarchy is a fundamental assumption about the state of international affairs: the absence of centralized governmental structures responsible for world order and global governance.1 As a constant in international affairs, the assumption of anarchy clearly cannot explain variation in international political conditions. Nevertheless, it is a critical assumption: the manner i…
Determinants of Third Partiesâ Intervention and Alignment Choices in Ongoing Conflicts, 1946â2001
The decision to intervene in ongoing conflicts is one of the most difficult foreign policy choices states often face. Yet, studies of third parties' joining behavior have been rare and limited in several respects. First, they have explored only a subset of all interventions—military interventions. Second, they have concentrated on security-based determinants of intervention—power and alliance considerations—while underplaying other possible motiv…
Danger Beyond Dyads
Stuart Bremer often reminded us that third parties—directly or indirectly—affect the initiation, evolution, and termination of conflict. He encouraged scholars to research the phenomenon of joining behavior further and personally investigated it. Questions about joining behavior are indeed deeply intertwined with a variety of theories of conflict. However, existing records on third-party interventions are limited to states' military involvement i…
Multilateralism, Major Powers, and Militarized Disputes
Gender Turnover and Roll‐Call Voting in the U.S. House of Representatives
A number of studies suggest that the gender of a legislator affects his or her congressional ideology. We argue that these studies may have produced misleading results because of insufficient controls for constituency influences. To better account for constituency effects, we use a longitudinal research design based on electoral turnover, which holds constituency constant while allowing gender and party to vary. We apply ordinary least squares re…
Multilateralism, Major Powers, and Militarized Disputes
American foreign policy has been animated by public debate between multilateralism and unilateralism in recent years. Some strains of traditional realist thinking suggest that major powers like the U.S. will naturally tend to be less enamored of multilateral action precisely because they possess the capabilities to engage a wider range of unilateral options and they face fewer structural limitations than other states. We empirically investigate t…
