In this episode, Professor David M. McCourt unpacks the foundations of New Constructivism: where it came from, what it demands of researchers, and where it's heading. #constructivism #newconstructivism #irtheory LINK: youtu.be/oozY4W8JoSA

Reports of Russia potentially assisting Iran in targeting U.S. forces illustrate a classic problem in international relations: adversarial cooperation. States often align tactically even when their long-term strategic goals diverge. #IRTheory #Geopolitics
