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.

New article with Jesse Johnson and Burcu Savun published online at ISQ. The article advances our understanding of how governments use international security policy to maintain power domestically and how alliances impact civil wars. academic.oup.com/isq/article-...

Bruce Russett was one of the most influential IR scholars of his time both through his research and his long-term editorship of JCR. I was always struck by his kindness and intellectual curiosity. He always showed interest in my work and treated me with respect. (going to try to link another post)
