#MIP data reveal constancy & change in US foreign policy aims across the decades: protecting citizens (its own & others); along w building regimes top the list. Full paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs… @monicaduffytoft @siditakushi @cssfletcher @fletcherschool #kineticdiplomacy

How to interpret this #MIP dataset finding? Post-Cold War, the US escalated its use of force in a low-threat environment, adversaries de-escalated. Adversaries shifting to less costly means to achieve their aims? @monicaduffytoft @SiditaKushi @FletcherSchool #kineticdiplomacy

Fighting more for less? The US involved itself in #military fights w vital national interests until the 1860s. By the 2000s? Not so much. See the new #MIP data doi.org/10.1177/002200272211… from @CSSFletcher director @monicaduffytoft and @BridgeStateU @SiditaKushi #kineticdiplomacy

US military interventions do not seem to be partisan. Both Democrats and Republicans seem equally comfortable with the use of force abroad. @monicaduffytoft @SiditaKushi @CSSFletcher @UniversityTufts #MIP
