Nice to see that my India Review article with Ben Holt analysing variation in the character of state-rebel conflict across Northeast India's "Highland," "Heartland" and "Hinterland" conflicts is the journal’s 3rd most-read article in the last year!

Read it Open Access here: lnkd.in/e-6XjJEw

We theorise 4 steps through which knowledge is integrated into doctrine: Knowledge Generation, In-Team Knowledge Negotiation, Org. Knowledge Negotiation and Critical Stakeholder Knowledge Negotiation. These processes are not linear, nor do they occur only once during drafting

In this open-access article with @jamesworrall.bsky.social in the Journal of Strategic Studies, we theorise how specific elements of knowledge - in this case knowledge of insurgencies - are integrated, negotiated and codified into doctrine doi.org/10.1080/0140...

These clusters of state-rebel conflict are shaped by historical state-society relations, rebel group ideological compatibility and political and strategic interests to produce distinct spatial and temporal patterns in state-rebel conflict across the region

Great end to a productive @isanet.bsky.social in Chicago! Presented preliminary research with Ryan O'Connor on the relationship between Naga rebel narratives and conflict events during a fascinating panel on rebel governance. Fascinating papers and super helpful discussion - thank you all! #IA2025

The calm before last night’s @civilwarsjournal.bsky.social reception @jamesworrall.bsky.social @hyyppati.bsky.social Great to see so many contributors to and friends of the journal, to meet many new faces and to learn about lots of exciting new projects!
