Any examples you can point me to @stefwalter.bsky.social ? I had a brief meeting with someone at TurnItIn but they seemed befuddled by my request...

Something I really appreciated about this conversation with @carnegiecouncil.org was the focus on values and agency in a time when it is all too easy to feel overwhelmed by the workings of the world.

An obituary of sorts for the norm against territorial conquest. I’d be happy to be wrong.

Conquest Is Back

A peace deal in Ukraine could further normalize what was once taboo.

Crowdsourcing: what literature do you recommend on democratic backsliding & armed conflict (intra or intrastate)? (am thinking of an analog to the democratization and war literature, but in reverse, but focusing on the process of regime change rather than "democracies & war" or "autocracies & war")

Yes, that's consistent with the coverage I've seen. Not surprising, but still depressing.

Insightful piece from @profsaunders.bsky.social.

This bit caught my eye: "We also know what is unlikely to happen: GOP pushback." Leadership matters in both its presence and its absence.

Trump’s verbal attack on Zelenskyy was shocking – and predictable

In bullying Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, Trump showed his core beliefs.

I'm trying to put together a session for Intro IR on foreign aid and development, using the jigsaw method, where each student in a group brings a different piece of the "puzzle." What undergrad-friendly readings/podcasts/videos etc would you recommend that cover a range of contemporary cases?
