"Trust Me: How Conflicting Actors Mitigate or Reinforce Allies' Reliability Concerns"
My dissertation examines the effect of the interaction between the president and his advisors on how U.S. treaty allies in Asia form their views of U.S. reliability, and how in turn, how changes in these views may translate into altered strategic postures. This book project uses interviews and survey experiments to illuminate the scope conditions for how perceptions of U.S. reliability are formed and relevant (or are made secondary to competing concerns).
