This looks great!

Very pleased to see my new article published this week in Asian Security. Take a look if you are interested in learning more about ASEAN institutional balancing success and failure! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I wrote a short @lseblogs.bsky.social on the recent ASEAN summit & ASEAN-GCC-China summit. There are some important things said and not said about how the organization is trying to respond to changing geopolitics in the region and beyond.

Great opportunity to do a PhD at the great Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg! www.gu.se/en/political...

A wonderful weekend exploring two fantastic projects with great scholars and friends! Looking forward to seeing both books out in the world - and I hope soon!

If anyone is interested but may have balked at the cost, my
book, Practicing Peace, is now just $44 (51% off) at Amazon (admittedly enriching Bezos and fraught more generally).

Interpretive political scientists -- a reminder of the Jan 17 APSA @apsa.bsky.social deadline for paper and panel submissions. We're looking forward to your great ideas! And enormous thanks to @liselhintz.bsky.social for serving as the 2024 IMM panel coordinator!

Thrilled that that my recent book, Practicing Peace: Conflict Management in Southeast Asia and South America, is included in this year's International Affairs Top 10 books Christmas Reading list! It's a privilege to be included here alongside these excellent works!
