Great @ricepolisci.bsky.social dissertation defense for @connerjoyce.bsky.social! He's off to @iepolisci.bsky.social as an assistant professor. Excellent work addressing nonstate actor engagement in political cyber attacks and the potential for international cooperation to control this. So proud!

These are uncertain times in international politics. Last May, IO issued an open call for short essays on the Future of Global Governance and World Order. Many experts shared theoretically and empirically informed assessments on a wide range of topics. #IOFoGG www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Great to see this out! This review is important for IR scholars as well— under what conditions do women lead and what are the implications of that leadership? Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this new JCR article by @ricepolisci.bsky.social Ph.D. student @connerjoyce.bsky.social. It uses a creative empirical strategy to evaluate whether states can control non-state hackers operating from their territory if incentivized to do so-- key to international cooperation.
