Why do nuclear dominoes not fall? The common wisdom holds that each new proliferator goads its rivals into following suit, but they rarely do. @the_nuclearyogi and I argue that this gap between expectation and reality cannot be explained by the cost of nuclear pursuit alone. 1/6

My dad just told me he met @iamsrk at a wedding and said my son went to the same school as you (true), and SRK said that's great we should take a selfie, and my dad said I don't know how, and SRK said don't worry I got this. I found this out today, THREE YEARS LATER.

My book, Ascending Order, is now available in electronic and print formats, via @CUP_PoliSci. A thread here on the book, for anyone interested in rising powers, international order, hierarchy, global governance, and status in world politics.

After weeks of waiting, I was finally able to see, touch, and smell a copy of my own book today. It's a strange feeling, to finally let go of something that consumed you for years on end and took unprecedented endurance to see through. I hope it will have been worth it.
👁 Hard copy of Ascending Order: Rising Powers and the Politics of Status in International Institutions.

Life/work update: I taught my last class @yalenus today. In the new academic year, I will join @LSEIRDept, where I will continue as assistant professor. Moving from a small startup to a major IR department is both exciting and intimidating. I am looking forward to the challenge!

To understand India's approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one has to understand India on its own terms, not only as competing with China, dependent on Russia, or partnering with the US. My contribution to the debate on India & the war in Ukraine.

A special honour to learn recently that my book will receive the Best Book in Global IR award from @isanet. An award that is named after @tvpaul1, whose considerable and diverse body of scholarship has impacted so much of the field, including my own work.

My father just sent me a video from 2015 of John Mearsheimer talking about Ukraine. Now I have to explain IR paradigms to him. This info war is getting out of hand, people.

Share of local govt employees in total employment in the US/China is 5 times that of India. Local govt expenditure is 3% of total govt expenditure in India, compared with 27% in the US and 51% in China. Source: Devesh Kapur, JEP, 2020 aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

A bit unreal to see my book reviewed in the Jan/Feb issue of @ForeignAffairs. A terrific start to the new year.
