On June 7-9, the Strauss Center sponsored a workshop on counterinsurgency (COIN), led by Associate Director Celeste Ward Gventer and partners from King's College London and the University of Queensland. The workshop assembled experts and scholars from many sides of the COIN debate to take a fresh look at this important and controversial subject.

Professor Alan Kuperman, a Strauss Center Distinguished Scholar, was quoted in an article from the Global Security Newswire on Monday. The article responds to a new policy announced by the Obama administration last week that promotes the purchase of medical isotopes manufactured with proliferation-resistant nuclear material.

Strauss Center Director Francis J. Gavin and Syracuse University’s James B. Steinberg were published in the Spring 2012 edition of the Carnegie Reporter. Their piece, “Mind the Gap; Why Policymakers And Scholars Ignore Each Other, And What Should Be Done About It,” addresses the important issue of connecting academic knowledge with the policymaking process.

Strauss Center Scholars Will Inboden, Josh Busby and their colleague Jonathan Monten, were featured on the homepage of Foreign Affairs today.  The article, "American Foreign Policy is Already Post-Partisan," highlights the scholars' recently completed study on multilateralism among U.S. foreign policy professionals.  They surveyed 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats who had served in a mid-level or higher foreign policy position in order to assess the level of division in their standpoints on multilateralism.  

Strauss Scholar Joshua Busby was quoted in The National Interest article, “Why Americans Are less Hawkish than Their Leaders.” The article cites a recent publication that he and Jonathan Monten wrote in Political Science Quarterly on Republicans and their defense spending preferences.
