Jonathan Caverley
Political scientist who is a visiting senior fellow at IISS and professor (on leave) at the US Naval War College. Sure it works in practice, but how does it work in theory? Opinions are mine.

- Returning today from some European events on transatlantic relations. No doubt the colleagues I met are revising their priors further. All such documents are tools of domestic as much as international politics. This one seems almost entirely aimed at the former. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
- This is dead right. Elites in China, India, the US and elsewhere took Huntington’s naive essentialism and turned it into an instruction manual for mobilization. academic.oup.com/edited-volum...

- In our new (open access!) Survival article, Ethan Kapstein and I argue Europe’s rapid rearmament and US focus elsewhere are enabling a more effective and sustainable transatlantic partnership...if its members are willing to acknowledge and maintain it. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- Reposted by Jonathan CaverleyThe black box of academic publishing is dark inside indeed - and I've not even mentioned Manucript Central yet - but it also contains other academics doing their best as editors to steward your work with care and respect.

- This. The political economy of American higher education is deeply misunderstood even by most of the people within it. This is shocking considering the stakes involved as well as US elites' obsession with it.

- Automatic follow given the endorser.
- No one in the world more qualified than my colleague @lindsaypcohn.bsky.social to discuss the ramifications of the military in LA.
- In addition to the other excellent suggestions, I would start with CRS's Rob O'Rourke's devastating testimony here: armedservices.house.gov/uploadedfile...

- As someone accustomed to seeing charts with missile range rings emanating from “bad guys’” territory, I was unprepared for how unsettling I found this graphic in the excellent new report from IISS. I understand the importance of Europe arming but am also saddened by it. www.iiss.org/research-pap...

- Reposted by Jonathan CaverleySome exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.
- The ISA International Security Studies Section still seeks Emerging Scholar Award nominations (<45 years old or <15 years from PhD). Nominating's easy, & receiving the award has real impact at an important career stage. Consider sending a name in by this Friday! www.isanet.org/Programs/Awa...
- I argue in Foreign Affairs (ungated!) that while there are many reasons to defend Taiwan, the island's military value for China is not one of them. 🌐 www.foreignaffairs.com/taiwan/taiwa...
- In a coin flip election, if it's dangerous to be the last billionaire to endorse one potential winner but makes relatively little difference whether or not you endorsed the other, your dominant strategy is pretty clear. 🌐
- Colleagues! Just over a week to the submission deadline. It's a great small conference with well-attended panels on topics across security studies with a wide variety of scholars at all levels of their career and from all parts of the globe. In a great city to boot! 🌐 www.isanet.org/Conferences/...
- Yanna Krupnikov and I have an article out in the APSR! Bottom line: women generally have a harder time than men changing the public's mind about security. And while the public credits both men and women veterans with higher leadership, it doesn't listen to them on security either. 🌐 t.co/LtkjIkKyKO
- Colleagues in security studies: this is your last day to vote in the ISA @ISSS_ISA governing council election. Please make your voice heard as we choose the scholars who will shape the future of our large and diverse subfield. Thank you! www.isanet.org/ISA/Sections...
- Members of the International Security Studies Section of ISA! Please nominate yourself for the Governing Council election by Jan 14! The Council helps shape the subfield, and we are a fun bunch to boot. In particular, one seat is reserved specifically for graduate students. Awkward link below! 🌐
- Pentagon Quad Charts are of the devil, but I love 2x2 tables and so should you. Jennifer Kavanagh, Ethan Kapstein, and I use one to organize the defense industrial base for @warontherocks.bsky.social, suggesting how to manage these very different sectors. 🌐 warontherocks.com/2023/11/one-...
- Reposted by Jonathan CaverleyThe ISA Int'l Security Studies Section is holding mentoring workshops for early career women and scholars of color, organized by the section's diversity task force. Sign up info is here, with a November 25 deadline polisky conflictsky intsec form.jotform.com/233116765088...
- This is a neat, well-produced four minutes of me railing about the United States' and Europe's defense industrial struggles. Shows the value of an editor in any medium!

- Honestly, I should have been donating to Wikipedia years ago. Still the second best time to plant a tree is when Elon Musk thinks something is not worthwhile.
- I do not understand the rush. Presumably Hamas expected Israeli retaliation and has planned accordingly. Every extra day the IDF prepares likely changes the operational balance in its favor. It also allows diplomacy to minimize regional escalation, and public steps to minimize civilian casualties.

- Was interviewed for CNN on munitions and Ukraine. It's part of a well-researched article with lots of data on the magnitude of European states' supply challenges. For more detail, please check out my War on the Rocks piece with Ethan Kapstein #armstrade #IntSec: warontherocks.com/2023/08/comm...
- Elon Musk is a problematic figure with a complicated relationship on US national security policy, but this CNN profile actually made me sympathize with him a bit. I am not sure I would know what to do if thrust into such an unprecedented position. www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/p...

- International Journal has ungated my article on AUKUS and how naval procurement shapes grand strategy. It's a short exploration of goods exchanged in arms deals--weapons, money, tech, jobs, security and autonomy--and the long-term effects for Australia. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/9QFSY...
