Generаl Questiоn: 1. Perhаps the centrаl tenet оf the grand bargain struck by the majоr powers after World War II was the prohibition of forcible border changes, and in the ensuing decades scholars and commentators alike used the apparent decline of large-scale territorial conquest as evidence of the existence of a “territorial integrity norm.” This was arguably bolstered by widespread support for reversing Iraq's 1990 conquest of Kuwait, but Russia's seizure of Crimea in 2014 and full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 represent notable challenges to the idea of a territorial integrity norm. Using theories of international law, institutions, and war, what (if anything) can we infer about the territorial integrity norm---as well as the postwar order more generally---from the past eleven years of Russo-Ukrainian relations? 2. In international relations scholarship, it is increasingly common to pursue interesting research questions with little respect for the classic debates or paradigms. Citing existing research, what are the emerging costs of disregarding prior work at the level of what some have called “grand” theory? And what new insights have been learned only because past research focusing on these paradigm debates has been ignored? On balance, what is the best approach for advancing progress in the scientific study of international relations? In your argument, be explicit and definitive in the contrasts you make. 3. In 2017 Bob Powell called attention to a fundamental challenge to integrating behavioral work into the study of international relations. Namely, the outcomes of interest in IR research tend to be produced by groups, like governments, rebels, terrorist groups, political factions, which are aggregations of individuals. To quote from the abstract of his article, “there are two broad approaches to attempting to integrate behavioral research about individuals. The first, a quasi-behavioral approach, makes nonstandard assumptions about the preferences, beliefs, or decision-making processes of aggregate actors. The second tries to build theories in which the key actors are individuals. Pursuing the former means that the assumptions about actors will be only weakly linked to the empirical findings propelling behavioral research. The second approach faces formidable obstacles that international relations theory has confronted for a long time and for the most part has not overcome.” First, do you agree with Powell that these are limitations to behavioral research? Second, what are examples of work that you think do a better job of overcoming — or if not overcoming, minimizing the consequences of — these limitations?

Cоnflict 1. In recent yeаrs, much emphаsis in internаtiоnal relatiоns has shifted to violence by non-state actors, such as rebel groups, transnational terrorists, and government-sponsored militias. How well do traditional IR conflict theories explain non-state actor violence? What are the biggest successes and failures in applying IR theories to non-state violence? In what ways does IR theory need to be modified in order to analyze non-state actor violence more usefully? Related, identify a promising research idea applying IR theory to non-state violence. 2. After the end of the Cold War, scholars famously argued that interstate wars had become obsolete. Over the next two decades, scholars extended that argument to intrastate wars, contending that they too were in permanent decline. Optimism peaked at the beginning of the Arab Spring in 2010/2011 when it appeared that nonviolent resistance was the only game in town. But that optimism crumbled quickly. We now find ourselves in the midst of the most violent decade since at least World War II as the prevalence of intrastate conflict has spiked and the Russia-Ukraine war portends a return of great power wars. How did scholarship initially explain the global decline in warfare? Was their assessment wrong, and why? What accounts for the resurgence of intrastate and interstate conflicts? In answering these questions, be sure to engage how relevant higher-level approaches/frameworks address these questions in addition to identifying key explanations provided by specific theoretical arguments. Provide examples throughout. Finally, please comment on specific modifications that international relations theory Should make to explain global patterns of conflict and cooperation better. 3. National leaders often have wide latitude in choosing when and whether to use military force, yet most IR theory presumes that it doesn't much matter who leads a state. When is this assumption safe to make, and when is it unsafe? Does it matter who leads if we're to explain patterns of war and peace? What does the literature tell us about leaders as units of analysis in the study of international conflict, and how can that literature best be improved moving forward?
