GSPIA's PhD Candidates Published in Princeton's Journal of Public and International Affairs

Brandon M. Boylan and Colin P. Clarke, both third-year PhD candidates at GSPIA studying foreign and security policy, recently had work published by Princeton University's Journal of Public and International Affairs. Brandon's article, "Moving beyond Coercive Diplomacy: A New Policy Approach toward Iran's Nuclear Ambitions," explores the status of Iran's nuclear weapons program, reviews past policy initiatives to prevent Iran from obtaining weapons, and recommends a new comprehensive approach to resolving the issue. Colin's policy essay, "Division by Addition: Why a Three State Solution is Better Than Two," is an analysis of the dynamics fueling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both essays can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/~jpia/.
