Long-observed fact that post-45 leaders were veterans of the world wars; what about IR theorists? C.P. Kindleberger and Kissinger both served in WWII, Waltz was a veteran of the Korean War, Mearsheimer served in the USAF, any other big theorists with military experience?

Always a pleasure re-reading classic texts in preparing undergrad lectures. Charlie Kindleberger - just brilliant.

"That a globalist technocrat has embraced the language of assertive nationhood marks perhaps the most significant turning point in our post-global world yet." Is Carney's Canadian election victory the end of globalism? @thephilippics.bsky.social for Compact www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

Interesting to see how many of my IR students this year seemed to come onto the course instinctive realists and left more liberal ... appreciative of the connection between self-interest and cooperation. I take it as a win. 😅

'Blathering about interests and values while letting foreigners asset-strip British utilities and industries was possible for the last thirty years because we lived in a world of unipolar globalisation' | Philip Cunliffe

Pursuing the national interest today requires remaking the British state itself. Is Kemi Badenoch’s conservative realism up to the task? | Philip Cunliffe
