I'll be spending the next few days at the annual meetings of the American Political Science Association in Toronto, so posting will be intermittent at best. If I may indulge in some shameless self-promotion, here are a couple of Web links that some of you might find interesting.
The first is a video of a talk I gave a couple of weeks ago to the "Rethinking Strategy" seminar in Washington. This seminar is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and attendees include a group of DoD and national security professionals, and my talk was a discussion of the grand strategy of "offshore balancing." The questions and comments were terrific, and I learned a lot from the exchange. There are links to a number of other presentations as well.

The second link is to a recent interview with Peer Schouten, who has assembled a interesting website of interviews with a diverse set of contemporary IR scholars. I was flattered that he invited me, as the other participants are pretty impressive company. His questions covered a wide range of topics and I don’t think my answers were all that profound — but some of our conversation may be of interest to IR theory mavens.
