Thinking (about peace science) in time

In this Presidential Address, I lay out three research streams in which my findings were valid when published, but which may have been time-bound to a particular period in global history. I identify the period in which major shifts appear to have taken place across all three research areas and speculate as to which changes in the global system may have interfered with the causal processes and mechanisms underlying those findings. I use this exercise as a way of demonstrating the importance of study extensions, inductive practices, descriptive and observational data, and fieldwide synthesis and collaboration in describing the emerging international order in which we now do peace science.
