Israel’s assassination of a top Hamas leader in Tehran in July, Ukraine’s incursion over the summer into Russia, and a recent series of increasingly assertive Chinese air and maritime interceptions in the South China Sea have fanned fears that long-simmering conflicts could escalate into broader wars. In the wake of these provocations, analysts fret about the heightened risk of military accidents and strategic misperceptions.

Research by SSP's Leo Marx Career Development Assistant Professor of the History and Culture of Science & Technology, Erik Lin-Greenberg, and PhD candidate in Security Studies and International Relations, Benjamin Norwood Harris, show warnings issued by world leaders are taken equally seriously whether issued on social media or through formal statements.

Among the honored faculty are three of the Center's faculty, including Kenneth Oye; Erik Lin-Greenberg; and Mariya Grinberg. The honor recognizes professors for their outstanding mentorship of graduate students. Congratulations!
