SUMMARY:The Sugar High of Unipolarity: Why U.S. Military Interventions Incr
 eased after the Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Of the approximately 400 military interventions the U.S. has co
 nducted since 1776\, half occurred between 1950-2019\, and more than 25 pe
 rcent occurred in the post-Cold War period. This startling statistic is ac
 cording to a “new\, comprehensive dataset of all U.S. military intervent
 ions since the country’s founding” that Sidita Kushi and Monica Duffy 
 Toft unveiled in a recent article published in the Journal of Conflict Res
 olution.  This dataset contains “over 200 variables that allow scholars 
 to evaluate theoretical propositions on drivers and outcomes of interventi
 on…[and] doubles the universe of cases\, integrates a range of military 
 intervention definitions and sources\, expands the timeline of analysis\, 
 and offers more transparency of sourcing through historically-documented c
 ase narratives of every U.S. military intervention included in the dataset
 .”  Why did the frequency of U.S. military interventions increase after 
 it had defeated the Soviet Union and American safety was at its height dur
 ing the “unipolar moment?” Do we intervene because we have to — or b
 ecause we can? Can this militaristic American grand strategy continue as t
 he international system shifts to multipolarity?  Join our conversation wi
 th Monica Duffy Toft\, Professor of International Politics at Tufts Univer
 sity\, and Sidita Kushi\, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Brid
 gewater State University\, and John Mearsheimer\, the R. Wendell Harrison 
 Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. QI Executive
  Vice President Trita Parsi will moderate.
