Hopefully, more AEP posts will follow in the next two years.

Is The Diplomat a feminist show casting doubt on accepted violent practice of international diplomacy and statecraft, or a gripping tale of realist IR with a side order of natty one-liners and a lot of time talking about hairstyles? My thoughts here www.e-ir.info/2025/03/27/t...
The Diplomat: Gender and Security in Popular Culture
Television shows are one space where security practices are made meaningful, legitimized, and re-presented to audiences.
