Excited to see my article on coalition costs and sanction coalition formation out with @intlinteractions.bsky.social. Also, it might be time for another Grease rewatch!

How does US aid freeze affect Taiwan's geopolitical interests? In this op-ed for @thediplomat.com, I argue that the military assistance suspension is likely to be temporary for Taiwan. However, Taipei must adjust its aid policy to alleviate the consequences of US aid suspension for its partners.

Trudeau listed non-tariff actions, incl critical minerals, as part of potential retaliation for tariffs. 2 thoughts 1) Canada is learning trade war tactics from China. 2) It makes it more difficult for US to compete with China on critical minerals, where building alternative supply chain is a must.

BREAKING: The US will not levy threatened tariffs on Colombia after the South American nation "agreed to all of President Trump’s terms," the White House says

Off the news cycle for just one day and checked back in to Trump threatening sanctions against Colombia. Tariffs and visa bans are getting a lot of attention, but I'm also curious how wide-ranging the "IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial sanctions" would be since "fully imposed" is pretty vague.

TikTok is using platform power on Trump's behalf. What does that mean? My new piece in @goodauth.bsky.social goodauthority.org/news/tiktok-...

Breaking News: President Biden will remove Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism as a part of a deal that is expected to free protesters jailed during a sweeping 2021 crackdown by the Communist government, U.S. officials said.

Very proud of my friend @susangrunewald.bsky.social, whose book, From Incarceration to Repatriation, is featured in Foreign Affairs. Aside from being an excellent historian (says the political scientist), she's also the coolest person I know.

This is a really interesting report that demonstrates how countries can simultaneously be both a de jure sanction sending state and a de facto third-party state in a multilateral sanctioning regime.

@profmusgrave.bsky.social I would love to be added to Polisky! Thanks so much!

Still testing if it works but there’s now an IPE/CPE feed for folks who are in polisky already! It’s ipesky or cpesky or cipesky. First time I do any of this so I’m very open to suggestions (starting from the feed’s avatar!). Please help advertising it!

I've started a list of PoliSky Sub-feeds. If you know of one (or started one) that should be added, please re-skeet the feed announcement and @profruback.bsky.social when you do. I'll add it ASAP. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... (@maaikeverbruggen.bsky.social, @profmusgrave.bsky.social )

For polisky or related fields: If you're looking for an alternative to the two week "math camp" with which many social science programs start, I put together an online, work-at-your-own-pace-over-the-summer version here: daveasiegel.com/teaching/math-course. Happy to answer questions about it.
