Description:

The Colloquium in International Security Studies continues its spring programming with a presentation by Anatoly Levshin. A political scientist, his research explores fundamental international security issues from the standpoint of world order. He will present his book proposal: “Bounding War: Rules of Neutralization, Demilitarization, and Non-Aggression and the Institutional Logic of Multilateral Prohibitions on Militarized Bargaining.” The book compiles an original dataset of such rules; investigates why states enact them; and explores the implications of this important practice for our understanding of the ability states, especially the great powers, to regulate the scope and intensity of strategic competition under anarchy.

Levshin is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the International Security Program and in Technology and Geopolitics at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center. He is also a Director’s Fellow with the Reimagining World Order research community at Princeton University, which he formerly co-curated with its director, G. John Ikenberry.

This event is open to the Yale community; lunch will be provided. Please email kaete.oconnell@yale.edu to receive the reading materials for this colloquium.
