Crowdsourcing: what literature do you recommend on democratic backsliding & armed conflict (intra or intrastate)? (am thinking of an analog to the democratization and war literature, but in reverse, but focusing on the process of regime change rather than "democracies & war" or "autocracies & war")

This bit caught my eye: "We also know what is unlikely to happen: GOP pushback." Leadership matters in both its presence and its absence.

Trump’s verbal attack on Zelenskyy was shocking – and predictable
In bullying Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, Trump showed his core beliefs.

I'm looking forward to reading the final version of Lemke's book, especially in this time when the prospect of violent state death has (unfortunately) been in the news.

I'm trying to put together a session for Intro IR on foreign aid and development, using the jigsaw method, where each student in a group brings a different piece of the "puzzle." What undergrad-friendly readings/podcasts/videos etc would you recommend that cover a range of contemporary cases?

Bookmarking. I've been trying to get students to work on this question for years. Delighted that @oonahathaway.bsky.social is tackling it.
The fall of the Assad regime in Syria once again raises the challenging issue of recognition of a new government.
In this new article, forthcoming in NYU Law Review, we review the (extremely messy) international law of government recognition. You can read it here:

Interesting article about the politics - and challenging mechanics - of counting casualties (with a focus on deaths) in war. We still don't know much about the wounded. Underlines importance of military medicine for Ukrainians bc many fewer Ukrainians than Russians.
