For @foreignaffairs.com, @poscwty1.bsky.social and I write about how polarization in Taiwan has reached dangerous levels. Partisan politics needs an off-ramp, both for the sake of Taiwan’s national security, and its ability to function as a democracy.

For one of the first times ever, the Republic of China flag and the Taiwan independence flag were flown side by side at the April 19th protests in Taipei. @poscwty1.bsky.social and I write about why this is a big deal for Taiwan politics for @thediplomat.com:

A wide body of academic surveys with nationally representative samples shows Taiwanese people’s willingness to fight to defend their homeland, including those under 30.

Yesterday we finished another great season of the virtual workshop! Thank you all for joining!!
While we prepare the Spring season, we want to let you know we will be organizing another in-person conference over the summer! The CfP will be out soon. Stay tuned!
Dear friends: The ESOC (Empirical Studies of Conflict) is coming to Taipei next June! Renard and I are helping organize the conference this time around, and there will be “lots of” cool people (no spoilers!) attending it and presenting their newest research on conflict.
