Between Ideology and Strategy: The Iranian Revolution and the Reconfiguration of Middle Eastern Security

open access: yesMiddle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 41-56, Summer 2026.
Abstract The Iranian revolution of 1979 is generally portrayed either as the catalyst of sectarian polarization in the Middle East or, more recently, as the foundation of a pragmatic grand strategy shaped by geopolitical insecurity and learning forged by decades of war. This article challenges this binary opposition between ideology and strategy.

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4139-4158, June 2026.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Potential Surprise Theory as a Practical and Theoretical Cornerstone of the Uncertainty‐Based Perspective on Risk

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT From all the knowledge that would emerge as relevant to it over infinite time, a risk analysis must be based on the cross‐section available at its undertaking. This creates a knowledge gap, which can lead to surprises. To address a similar problem in economic decision‐making, G. L. S. Shackle developed potential surprise theory (PST).

The E3 Ligase RNF8 Promotes Ubiquitination and Degradation of ChREBPα During Liver Stress Response

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 9, 15 May 2026.
During MASH development, increasing hepatic stress signals, particularly a combination of lipotoxicity (palmitate) and inflammation (TNFα), trigger JNK, the key stress‐activated protein kinase. Activated JNK recruits RNF8, a stress‐induced E3 ligase, to promote ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the ChREBPα protein.

Nuclear Deterrence and Compellence

open access: yes, 2018
This chapter examines whether nuclear superiority matters for compellent threats. Drawing on the Militarized Compellent Threat (MCT) data set, the same data set used by nuclear irrelevance theorists, it finds that the nuclear balance of power is central to patterns of international coercion.

Beyond nuclear deterrence

Science, 2022
In October 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union squared off in what game theorist and Nobel laureate Thomas Schelling described as a nuclear game of “chicken” that threatened humanity’s survival. The Cuban Missile Crisis spurred six decades of efforts to limit the spread of nuclear weapons and inspired a generation of scientists to think ...
