Can advisers really shape foreign policy at the highest levels? In a new piece @IntOrgJournal, @jkertzer, @notericmin, Schub and I present a theory and empirical tests arguing that they can, but the reason why might be different from what you would think. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

New in @IntOrgJournal w @tcjost @notEricMin & Schub: We combine computational methods with uniquely rich Cold War archival evidence to study how advisers matter in foreign policy. Where advisers stand doesn't just depend on where they sit. cambridge.org/core/journals/… 🧵

The findings provide some of the most systematic evidence to date showing both that advisers matter and that they do so because of their worldviews, complementing recent work by @ProfSaunders @ProfRickyClark @eriklg @lindsayrdolan @don_casler @minjulisettekim @Andy_J_Payne &+

This broadly suggests that scholarship on leaders by @dbyman, @jeffdcolgan, @JohnPHarden, @josh_byun, @carsonaust & many+ were right that decision-makers have agency, but also that there is a complementary story to be told about the advisers and bureaucrats behind these leaders.
