Tanisha M. Fazal

Tanisha Fazal investigates change in fundamental features of the international system. Her wide-ranging, award-winning research has challenged conventional wisdoms on why some states disappear from the world map, how the laws of war have evolved, whether war is truly in decline, and how climate change will, and will not, transform global politics. Fazal’s unexpected findings reveal which apparent changes in world politics are real and lasting and which are superficial and ephemeral.
