My new book with Sebastian Rosato on How States Think has just been published by Yale University Press. https://www.amazon.com/How-States-Think-Rationality-Foreign/dp/0300269307/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3N0100Q9DNNTE&keywords=mearsheimer+rosato&qid=1678201154&s=books&sprefix=mearsheimer+rosato%2Cstripbooks%2C86&sr=1-1
Really enjoyed reading "Great Power Rivalries: The Case for Realism". Thanks for the heads up that it was outside the paywall!
As a side note, I wanted to say that you are one of the few speakers I drop everything to listen to when I discover that you've made an appearance that gets posted to YouTube. I always learn something.
The only problem is that I often don't know that they've happened. Will you be posting appearances here on your Substack as well, or is there a better way to be alerted to them?
Thank you. Much appreciate the ability to read the article "Great Power Rivalries: The Case for Realism," in the August 2023 edition of Le Monde Diplomatique, without the paywall.
Basically my difficulty with your model is your unwillingness to course correct or verify it empirically even in the face of obvious facts like Ukraine or that the Putin regime are a bunch of lying mafia thugs. You have a great model of reality but science isnt merely modelling reality it is also testing predictions of the model against reality to correct the model. In other words yeah your theory is literally half baked.

I’m looking forward to reading your book. I finished a month ago, the Tragedy of great power politics, it was so interesting and insightful.
I just purchased the audiobook version. Looking forward to a great read. Thanks for your work and challenging opinions.
