Stacie Goddard

My primary research focuses on international relations, with a focus on international order, power politics, and great power competition. My forthcoming book, Dynamics of Power Politics (with Paul MacDonald and Daniel Nexon, Oxford University Press 2027) develops a relational-network approach to power politics, and additional new work (with Abraham Newman) investigates the emergence of a "neo-royalist" order.

Other work on great power competition includes my 2018 book, When Right Makes Might: Rising Powers and World Order, which asks why it is that some great powers accommodate rising powers in international politics, while containing and confronting others. Additional research examines why revisionist international institutions while others fail; why statecraft has changed over time; and why some territories are negotiable, while others are treated as indivisible. 

I also have contributed to Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the Washington Post, and the New York Times.
