Thinking that maybe Mexican civil military relations are not that bad sometimes.

"In a study published in The Lancet in September, UC Davis researchers surveyed over 9,300 people. They found that those who hold racist, xenophobic, and transphobic beliefs and negative attitudes toward gay people are more likely to support political violence and be inclined to commit lethal acts."

La próxima semana presentaremos nuestro artículo sobre el desmantelamiento de la Policía Federal en el Centro de Estudios Estados Unidos-Mexico de @gpsucsd.bsky.social

Ojalá puedan acompañarnos

Pero sobre todo, debemos considerar que EUA legitima las acciones militares al interior de los países para atacar enemigos internos.

Por lo tanto, lo que los gobiernos latinoamericanos llevan haciendo años en detrimento del control civil, hoy parece ser válido si el líder moral lo hace.

Nailed it.

They're aware of how little control they have of the military and can't figure out how to change that.

Quienes estudiamos relaciones civil-militares en América Latina debemos entender el evento de ayer en EUA como una señal de la línea que los ministerios de defensa pueden seguir:

Roles y estereotipos de género reforzados.
Desinterés sobre los asuntos climáticos.
Rearmamentismo.

¿Ya revisaron el programa de la #CátedraSartori en su quinta edición?

Estaré participando para hablar sobre cómo las relaciones civil-militares se modificaron con la #GuardiaNacional.

Si están en #Guadalajara es un evento imperdible.

I imagined that sooner or later we might see these kind of tensions emerging in the open.

Wouldn‘t surprise me if there are growing and active efforts by pol ldrs to exploit such divisions in the ranks to break down nonpartisanship & lay groundwork for norms of partisan alignment to take hold

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

I’m quoted in this story and would like to expand on what I’m talking about in terms of this not being how the NG has been used, historically.
Though first I should note that Joe Nunn is right on all counts. I’m just adding a little historical context.

Delighted to share that my work with @profteigen.bsky.social is out!

We test the often touted assumption/claim that people who live near military bases in the US will be more conservative/Republican. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find NO link.

So why has this myth persisted? 1/

This month, the Hague Group has proposed measures to hold Israel accountable under international law for its actions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and urges other countries to sign on by Sept. 20, 2025. Those actions include halting the transfer of weapons and military products to Israel.

I’m excited that my first book is available for pre-order and will come out at the end of the month!
It looks at how to think about military ethics from a perspective of upholding democratic governance and values. Everyone can just ignore the chapter on Augustine unless you REALLY like Augustine 😂

I'm trying to have a routine to work on the next stage of my research. But doing it during my son's summer break is making everything so complicated.

I have to finish my postdoc protocol to September, so I can't wait until back to school.

Any advice? Beyond working all night?
