Graham Allison: Scoring the Summit
Press Release
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School
When scoring Olympic events like diving or figure skating, judges first assess the difficulty of the maneuver before judging its execution. If we follow that practice in scoring this week's Moscow summit between Presidents George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, what may first appear a flawless performance will actually fall far short of a perfect 10. The Bush administration has chosen to be cautious in its approach to the summit. In Olympic terms, the program never leaves the low diving board.

Graham Allison and Andrei Kokoshin: Bush and Putin Must Confront Nuclear Terror
Press Release
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School
The centerpiece of this week''s Moscow summit will be the signing of a treaty cutting the number of deployed strategic warheads by two-thirds over the next decade. But as both President Bush and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin have acknowledged, the agreement looks more to the Cold War than to future dangers. Especially in the aftermath of Sept. 11, their priority at this summit should be to act now to prevent nuclear terrorism.

"Power, Ideas, and New Evidence on the Cold War's End: A Reply to Brooks and Wohlforth"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 4, volume 26
The author critiques Stephen Brooks and William Wohlforth’s recent article, “Power, Globalization, and the End of the Cold War.” He faults the authors for privileging materialist explanations for the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union to the exclusion of other possible causes—in particular, the influence of “new thinkers” led by Mikhail Gorbachev.

"From Old Thinking to New Thinking in Qualitative Research"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 4, volume 26
By Stephen Brooks, Former Fellow, International Security Program, 2003-2004 and William Wohlforth, Editorial Board Member, Quarterly Journal: International Security
After correcting what the authors state is Robert English’s “misunderstanding of [their] research design,” the authors elaborate their article’s contribution on “how to assess the causal implications of widely accepted findings” and the significance of this practice for qualitative research.
