I was on NPR yesterday in a chat w @sachapfeiffer.bsky.social on the evolving nature of international politics, U.S. foreign policy, and coercive diplomacy. Sacha is a fantastic journalist and I really enjoyed the conversation. www.npr.org/2026/01/11/n...

After Venezuela, is the world order shifting from diplomacy towards aggression?
NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer talks with Peter Krause of Boston College about the Trump Administration's willingness to act unilaterally against other countries and what this means for international relations.

I am happy to share my article on the US's "Major Non-NATO Ally" status, which signals friendship and facilitates cooperation without providing formal security commitments. I compare the cases of Qatar and the UAE to explain why and when some US partners accept MNNA status. doi.org/10.1093/jogs...

This Crown Conversation with Haian Dukhan & Daniel Neep is genuinely excellent. From misconceptions re: what Assad's fall means for the region to prospects for the future of #Syria, it manages to provide insight through the uncertainties. Great read. www.brandeis.edu/crown/public...
