President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.

I couldn't find a #FeministIR starter pack, so I took a first rather random stab at it. As I am bound to have missed relevant people (still struggling with the platform), so please let me know if you would like to be added. Apologies in advance.

If you want to include two more: I work on populist narratives (mostly radical right; often at the intersection of emotion, political psychology and/or International Relations) and so does Donatella Bonansinga.

How Narrative Politics Shapes American Military Might The end of the Cold War heralded a substantial β€˜peace dividend’ during the 1990s, a series of large cuts in defense spending by the United States, the world’s sole remaining military superpower.

I've written a short blog piece, which summarizes some of the key points of my new book "The Uncertainty Doctrine: Narrative Politics and US Hard Power after the Cold War”.
