Quacks

Sorry for the silence here. However, I have recently posted twice to the Duck of Minerva group IR blog:

Sunday, February 16, I posted "Academic Family Tree." It concerns a website that tracks dissertation advisers and their students in academia.

On Friday February 7, I posted "Nuland: Comic misunderstanding?" The post discusses a comedic reading of Ambassador Victoria Nuland's recent comment to "F*** the EU."

Summer Duck

Today, at the Duck of Minerva group IR blog, I posted "Is America cool again?" The piece looks at results from the latest Pew Global Attitudes Project, which finds some big improvements in the U.S. image around the world -- apparently attributable to the Obama administration.

On Monday, July 6, I posted "RIP: Robert McNamara." I saw the former Secretary of Defense speak a couple of times and dined with him once.

On Friday, July 3, I blogged "Oops" about an unfortunate mistake concerning a book ad (since corrected) at the Barnes and Noble website.

Ducking out

Today, at the Duck of Minerva group IR blog, I posted "The new neighbors." It is about the Obama administration and Europe, with a focus on the latest climate change negotiations.

March 25, I posted "Overseas contingency operations," which is apparently the new name for the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan (previously known as the "war on terror").
