South Bend, IN
Some professional news: This summer I'm joining the Political Science Department @NotreDame. I owe a great deal to my friends and colleagues at Cornell, whom I will greatly miss. But I am so excited to return to my alma mater and join an amazing group of scholars. Go Irish! ☘️

IR Book of the Week! "Taming the Careerists" by Minju Kim. When it comes to US foreign policy, we focus a lot on Presidents, top-level diplomats, and the close advisers to both. But US foreign policy is also dramatically (and surprisingly, as Kim shows) influenced by career bureaucrats.

Are voters myopic? In our newest publication, Markus Prior and I find that what looks like short-sightedness in retrospection may actually be a genuine preference for improvement over time. Read more in the @apsrjournal: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The problem with this statement is not that the trade deficit is incorrect and actually lower than what stated. The issue is that importing good from Canada, or any other country, is not a loss for Americans. It is generally a win for US consumers who can buy more for less money.
"Over the last 10 years, the United States lost, on average, 60 Billion Dollars a year with Canada. NO MORE!" - President Donald J. Trump
Community note
This claim is misleading. When including both goods and services, the U.S. trade deficit with Canada has averaged significantly less than $60B annually over the last decade, with some years even showing a U.S. surplus. ustr.gov/countries-regi… usafacts.org/answers/what-i…

Cleveland Cavaliers have interest in a second reunion with LeBron James with the appeal of the franchise’s greatest player finishing his career where it all started, league sources tell me.
