7 Military Humanitarianism: Syria Hasn't Killed It
. Thomas G. Weiss
Despite not leading to action in Syria to date, the Responsibility
to Protect (R2P) is not dead, but navigating ongoing trade-offs
among legality, feasibility, and legitimacy. At least now there is a
double-standard of inconsistency, where there used to be only a
single standard: do nothing.
21 The Myth of Petroleum Independence and Foreign Policy
Isolation
. Sarah A. Emerson & Andrew C. Winner
The startling uncertainty associated with three changes in both
global trade flows and U.S. political-military commitments
will impact Persian Gulf stability and great power relations in
ways that will force analysts and policymakers around the world
to rethink energy and foreign policy.
35 How Autocracies Fall
. Andrea Kendall-Taylor & Erica Frantz
Since the 1950s, the coup has been by far the most common
way autocrats leave office. But new global data shows that
autocrats are increasingly vulnerable to mass-led revolts, not
coups. What's more, revolts are the most likely way to sweep
out the entire political regime and result in democratization.
